Get a User ID (Logon)

You need to be a registered user to register financing statements or search the PPSR.  If you would like to pay by direct debit for services accessible from this website then you will need set up a direct debit account.  You can do this when you register as a user or alternatively set it up later.  If you choose to set up a direct debit account at a later stage when you encounter any fee paying services, you will need to pay for these by credit card.

The User Administration tool is structured at three levels

1. Customer account level - containing customer (organisational) details;
2. Branch level - groups within a customer organisation (optional);
3. User level - individuals within an organisation or its branches. 

An Administrator can be appointed within your organisation to maintain customer, branch and user details.  The first user is automatically assigned Administrator status.  Once the Administrator has logged onto the website and selected My Tools - User Administration from the left hand menu, they can:

• Maintain your customer (organisational) details (including branch details if required)
• Create additional users & administrators
• Specify the sites and services individual users can access
• Modify user details; including changing passwords and unlocking or closing a User ID (Logon)
• Download electronic invoices.

 FAQs

What will it cost?

There are no joining or maintenance fees and you will only be charged for the services you use.  Payment is made by direct debit or by charging your credit card as you go.  Refer to the Fees information on our website for a list of fee bearing transactions.

Payment options

• Payment for online services can be made by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex or Diners) or by direct debit - you choose.
• A ‘Pay Now’ screen will identify services that have an associated fee, so you can decide whether or not to proceed.

1. Direct debit

Your organisation (or its Branches) will receive an invoice, by email, every month when an online service has been accessed.  Alternatively you can pick up a copy of your invoice directly from the website.  The invoice amount will be direct debited approximately 20 days after you have been invoiced.  If no fees were incurred during the previous month then no invoice will be created.

2. Credit card

Credit card transactions are processed using 128-bit encryption technology.  Your credit card details are transferred in such a way that the Ministry of Economic Development does not see or store them.  Your transaction is validated in “real time”.

How to register for a logon (become a registered user)
