Frequently asked questions about thetimes.dot

For point-of-sale payments, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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.

Can I browse the full .PAY catalog if thetimes.dot doesn't fit?

Yes. If thetimes.dot doesn't fit your brand, you can browse domain.pay's full curated catalog to discover other payment-domain ideas, including names unrelated to thetimes.dot. The catalog is built for exactly this kind of open-ended discovery. Browse it at https://domain.pay/domains.

What is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY for payroll disbursements?

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.

Does registering thetimes.dot require a business entity?

A standard pre-order for thetimes.dot does not by itself require a registered business, while trademark-priority for thetimes.dot requires a valid TMCH SMD file for a mark matching thetimes.dot, which usually comes from a brand owner. Confirm what applies to thetimes.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for secure payment links?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

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.
