Morphology

issuer = issue (transparent) = issue + er

Agentive '-er' attached to the verb 'issue' yields 'issuer' meaning 'one who issues'; clear and regular formation.

Etymology

Issuer comes from the verb issue, which originally meant to 'go out' or 'send out', much like exit which means 'to go out'. So an issuer is a person or organization that formally 'sends out' things like money, papers, or bonds.
