Who is best positioned to claim getstarted.dot during launch?

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for fraud prevention?

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. Treat this as domain-registration guidance, not legal advice on money-transmission or financial-services licensing.

Can I transfer getstarted.dot between entities within my company safely?

Yes. NicNames can transfer getstarted.dot between affiliated entities while preserving continuous ownership of the getstarted.dot name, which keeps protection intact. Keep registrant records accurate so the chain of control is clear in any future dispute. https://domain.pay/

What does the .PAY ending signal to customers using BNPL checkout for a remittance app?

.PAY signals that the destination is connected to payment action, such as BNPL checkout. That can support clarity and trust when paired with strong security and branding. Check or pre-order the name at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.

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.
