Can only suppliers of goods can claim purchase-money security interests?

No, purchase-money security interests (PMSIs) can be claimed not only by suppliers of goods but also by lenders who provide financing specifically for the purchase of goods or inventory. A PMSI allows a creditor to secure an interest in the goods purchased with the loan or credit. This type of interest typically gives the creditor priority over other secured creditors. Therefore, both suppliers and certain lenders can claim PMSIs under applicable laws.
