Abstract: The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) requires any person acting as a transfer agent to register as such and to amend registration information when it changes. State member banks (SMBs) and their subsidiaries, bank holding companies (BHCs), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), and certain nondeposit trust company and other subsidiaries of BHCs that act as transfer agents must register with the Federal Reserve System by submitting Form TA-1. The information collected is available to the public upon request and includes the company name, all business addresses, and answers to three questions about the registrant’s proposed activities as a transfer agent. The Federal Reserve uses the information to act upon registration applications and to aid in performing its supervisory duties. Similar data are not available from any other source.
