For corporate secretaries, CFOs and investor relations
Every corporate action starts with matching your transfer agent’s file against your own records. Move your register to Fairmint. We keep it as your SEC-registered transfer agent, and your brokers, custodians and counsel all read the same record.

Tokenization and the register
Most onchain share programs issue a token that mirrors a register a legacy agent still keeps. The legal record stays offchain, and someone has to reconcile the two after every issuance, transfer or cancellation. Fairmint keeps the register itself on the ledger, so the onchain entry and the legal record are the same thing.
Transfer agency services are provided by Fairmint TA, a subsidiary of Fairmint Inc. registered with the SEC as a transfer agent.
Issuers often carry three versions of the holder list: the agent’s file, the stock plan system and a board spreadsheet. We take over as transfer agent and migrate your register from your current agent. From then on, every issuance, transfer and cancellation is recorded against one entry.

Illustrative
Today each counterparty keeps its own view of your holders and waits for files from your agent. With Fairmint, authorized institutions read positions and transfer restrictions from the register itself, through the Open Cap Table Protocol, an open standard built on the industry’s cap table schema.
A tender, buyback or secondary window depends on an accurate list of eligible holders on the day it opens. We check eligibility and transfer restrictions against the register, record each transfer as it settles, and close the window with the register already updated.
A listing, a growing holder base or new reporting obligations put the register in front of auditors, counsel and regulators. If an SEC-registered transfer agent has kept it from the start, the record they review is the one you have been running on all along.
