Definition of "Customer" In Relation to Investor

Answered by: 

Question: 
Does the definition of "customer" include the relationship with an investor that is established when a bank acts as a registered transfer agent for an issuer?
Answer: 

There are several regulations that use the term "customer," each defining it somewhat differently. If the regulation you have in mind is BSA, then a corporate shareholder is not a customer of bank even if the bank serves as the transfer agent for the corporation.
