transfer (v.)

1382, from L. transferre "bear across, carry over, transfer, translate," from trans- "across" + ferre "to carry" (see infer). The noun is first attested 1674. Transference in psychoanalytical sense is recorded from 1911, transl. Ger. übertragung (Freud).

Transfer

A tax-free, non-reportable movement of assets between retirement plans.

Investopedia Commentary

Generally, transfers occur between similar types of plans: for instance, from a Roth IRA to a Roth IRA. There is no limit on the number of transfers that may occur between retirement plans, but a transfer must occur between the trustees/custodians of the retirement accounts. This means that the assets are made payable to the trustee/custodian, not the retirement account holder.
