Frequently asked questions about arcs.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing bank.pay?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

What sets arcs.dot apart for payment branding specifically?

Most suffixes are generic, but arcs.dot carries payment meaning natively, so the brand arcs.dot and the action pay appear in one address. That alignment is hard to replicate with a .com plus a path. It makes arcs.dot a focused payment brand asset.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for point-of-sale payments?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

What is the safest way for a brand to secure arcs.dot?

The safest route for a brand to secure arcs.dot is sunrise registration using a TMCH-validated trademark and SMD file, claiming arcs.dot before the public can. domain.pay offers this trademark-priority service. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

For mobile money, would travel.pay work as a payment brand?

travel.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
