Why was .PAY created for payment use?

The .PAY TLD, operated by Amazon Registry Services, was created to give payments and financial services a clearly themed namespace, which is why stings.dot may carry payment-related validation expectations. This helps signal trust to users. domain.pay can register stings.dot within this namespace at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I know if subscriptions.pay is available for loan repayments?
