How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing 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.

How do I verify npci.dot for Google Search Console?

The most robust method is to add the TXT verification record Google provides to the DNS of npci.dot, which proves domain-wide ownership. Once the TXT record on npci.dot propagates, click verify in Search Console. This unlocks indexing data and sitemap submission for npci.dot.

Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1 when choosing bank.pay?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
