Frequently asked questions about foundr.dot

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for a regional bank?

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.

How do I dispute a charge for foundr.dot?

To dispute a foundr.dot charge, contact us first so we can check it against the registry tier for foundr.dot and our stated refund policy before involving your bank. Failed foundr.dot attempts are refundable and usually resolve quickly. Start the review via https://domain.pay/pricing.

What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails for online checkout?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Why does trademark-priority registration of foundr.dot require a TMCH record first?

The .PAY registry, operated by Amazon Registry Services, only grants priority to marks already validated in the Trademark Clearinghouse. Your TMCH record produces the SMD file that proves rights to the foundr.dot string in foundr.dot. Without that prior validation, NicNames has no recognised proof to grant you priority. Begin the flow at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments when choosing bank.pay?

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.

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.
