What is a transfer agent?

A transfer agent and registrar for a publicly held company keeps records of every outstanding stock certificate and the name of the person to whom those certificates are registered. When stock changes hands, the transfer agent transfers the ownership of the stock from the seller's name to the buyer's name.
