The name or different manufacturer maybe. But is there a functional difference?

Transfer is to transfer towards another system and swich might mean to switch between systems?

It depends on the mode of operation too-viz. break one and make other or synchronise both and switch off one.

There is no difference.

In Europe, it is called Change-over switch, while in North America, it is Transfer switch.

Transfer may mean "smoothly no-break transfer of source"
