The Account Control Agreement Collateral is a crucial document in secured financing transactions under UAE law, typically used when bank accounts are pledged as collateral for financing arrangements. It complies with UAE Federal Law No. 4 of 2020 (Movable Collateral Law) and UAE Central Bank regulations, establishing the mechanism by which a secured party obtains and maintains control over the pledged account(s). The agreement is essential for perfecting security interests over bank accounts in the UAE and is commonly used in project finance, corporate lending, and structured finance transactions. It details the rights and obligations of the account holder, secured party, and account bank, including procedures for account operation, notice requirements, and enforcement mechanisms.
