Is the refund policy the same for premium docs.dot pre-orders?
Yes, the stated refund policy covers failed pre-order attempts on docs.dot whether docs.dot is standard or premium. A higher premium fee on a failed attempt is refunded the same way as a $100 standard one. Read the policy for docs.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
For mobile money, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?
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.
