Article L313-31 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

Short-term credit transactions that have not resulted in the assignment or pledging of business receivables to the lending credit institution or finance company may give rise to the issue by the latter of securities intended to mobilise all or part of the credit granted.

Successive holders of these securities benefit from the rights listed in articles L. 313-32 and L. 313-33 on condition that the forms recording these loans have been made available to the organisation providing the finance, in accordance with the agreements entered into between the latter and the lending company; these forms, which are referred to as “deeds of assignment of financial receivables”, are subject, where necessary, to the provisions of articles L. 313-23 to L. 313-29.

Article L313-31

Les opérations de crédit à court terme n’ayant pas entraîné une cession ou un nantissement de créances professionnelles en faveur de l’établissement de crédit ou de la société de financement prêteur peuvent donner lieu à l’émission par celui-ci de titres destinés à la mobilisation de tout ou partie des crédits consentis.

Les porteurs successifs de ces titres bénéficient des droits énumérés aux articles L. 313-32 et L. 313-33 sous la condition que les bordereaux constatant ces crédits aient été mis à la disposition de l’organisme qui assure le financement, conformément aux conventions intervenues entre celui-ci et l’entreprise prêteuse ; ces bordereaux qui sont dénommés ” actes de cession de créances financières ” sont soumis, en tant que de besoin, aux dispositions des articles L. 313-23 à L. 313-29.
