To create a Customer Account on the Personal Property Securities Register

1. The first step is to create a Customer Account with the PPS Register.
2. Open Internet Explorer and go to the following address http://transact.ppsr.gov.au/ppsr/home
3. From the PPSR home page, click the Create an Account button from the user log in panel.
   

You can also access the same page by moving your mouse over the Account customers tab and click on Create account customer.

4. This will display some useful information for potential account customers. Click the Start button.
   

To create an account you will need to accept the Account Customer Terms and Conditions. These can be viewed by selecting the Account Customer Terms and Conditions link.

5. To accept, select the checkbox below the statement. You will be unable to create an account unless you accept the Terms and Conditions.
6. Entity details fields will appear. The account customer name and mailing address details should be entered into these fields. These fields are mandatory and must be entered in order to continue.
7. At this point, you need to select either Yes or No. If you select Yes, you will need to provide detail on the ABN, ACN, ARBN or ARSN. If you select No, you will skip a step and be taken to the single user or multi user account section.
8. The register will ask you to select the type of account you wish to create.
• The Account should be created as a Multi user account.
9. Click the Next button to continue.
10. A key contact is needed for a new account. The User details page is where this information is entered. The register will ask you whether the key contact also needs to be a user.
11. Click the Next button to continue.

Account preferences

You will be asked to setup preferences for your account.

1. Firstly, you need to define your Maximum number of search transactions per day and Maximum number of registration transactions per day. This can help you monitor usage of the PPSR by your users.
2. The next two fields relate to password expiry. Any value entered by the user cannot exceed the default value.
3. You need to decide on a payment preference for future payments made using this account. Pay as you go is not an option for B2G. A B2G customer can only use the Credit or Pre Pay basis. If the user will be a high volume user and Credit is their preferred payment basis, then the client must apply for a credit account.

Pre-pay allows you to pay an amount to your account in advance of transacting. When you transact, any charges will be deducted from the balance of your prepaid account.

4. You also have the option to receive regular financial statements or tax invoices from the register. A Tax Invoice or a Tax Invoice/Receipt will also be available on the summary page of each transaction.
5. If you select either Monthly or Every transaction you can also define an email address where you want these documents to be sent.
6. Click the Next button to continue.

Review

The register will now display all the details you have entered for you to review. You have the option to make any changes (using the relevant Edit button) or to proceed with the account creation. Once you are happy that all of the details are correct, click the Create account customer button. Leaving the website before account creation is complete will result in all data being lost. On creation of a new account customer, confirmation details will be displayed.

Confirmation

The user name and password details will be sent to the email address you have specified for the user.
