Frequently asked questions about exc.dot
As a regional bank, 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.
Can I get exc.dot at the standard rate if it looks generic?
A generic-looking name does not guarantee the standard rate; the registry independently decides whether exc.dot is premium. So exc.dot could still carry a higher fee than $100 despite appearing ordinary. Check the actual tier for exc.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing wallet.pay?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
How does the SMD file prove my right to exc.dot at registration?
The SMD file is issued by the TMCH after it verifies your rights in the exc.dot mark, and presenting it during priority phases substantiates your claim to exc.dot. It connects your trademark to the registration in a verifiable way. https://domain.pay/pricing
Where can I pre-order a .PAY name for payroll disbursements?
Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.
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.
