Frequently asked questions about finishers.dot
For loan repayments, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.
Should a small business bother with TMCH before registering finishers.dot?
If your small business owns the finishers.dot trademark and wants the strongest claim on finishers.dot, recording it in the TMCH is worthwhile because the SMD grants priority over the public. Without it, you rely on a standard pre-order that a rights holder can outrank. Weigh the priority path against pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Why does the .PAY launch protect trademarks first for finishers.dot?
The launch protects trademarks first because ICANN's framework reserves the sunrise phase for brand owners, letting them claim finishers.dot before the public to prevent infringement. General availability follows for everyone else. Position for finishers.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
As a regional bank, can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline?
TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.
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.
