secured party

A secured party is a person or entity in whose favor a security interest is created or provided for under a security agreement, regardless of whether an obligation to be secured is currently outstanding.

For example, a secured party can be: a person that holds an agricultural lien, a consignor, someone to whom accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes have been sold.
