White-Label Partnership Model
Transfer agents brand tokenization as their own service while Governa supplies the infrastructure.
Governa is structured so that each transfer-agent partner offers tokenization as its own branded service to its issuer clients, while Governa remains the underlying technology provider. This preserves the transfer agent's regulatory role and client relationship, and gives the transfer agent a new, sellable product line rather than positioning Governa as a competitor.
Illustrative Fee Split
In an illustrative structure, an issuer might pay its transfer agent for tokenized transfer-agency services (implementation and annual corporate-action support), while the transfer agent in turn pays Governa an implementation and annual platform fee for the underlying infrastructure. The transfer agent retains the remainder as compensation for its regulated services.
| Layer | Illustrative Implementation Fee | Illustrative Annual Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Issuer pays Transfer Agent | $30,000 | $30,000+ (incl. corporate actions) |
| Transfer Agent pays Governa | $15,000 | $18,000 (platform usage) |
| Transfer Agent retains | $15,000 | $12,000+ |
