Frequently asked questions about arely.pay

For digital wallets, 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.

What is first-day pre-order for arely.pay?

First-day pre-order lets you request arely.pay for the opening day of general availability, so your application is ready the moment arely becomes registrable. It is offered alongside standard pre-order on domain.pay. Set up first-day pre-order for arely.pay at https://domain.pay/register.

Is .PAY already open to everyone for digital wallets?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I use a foreign trademark to claim arely.pay via TMCH?

The Trademark Clearinghouse accepts marks from many jurisdictions worldwide, so a qualifying foreign trademark can be recorded and produce an SMD for claiming arely.pay. The mark must be validated by the TMCH and match the arely string. NicNames then honours that SMD for priority on arely.pay. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for crypto payments?
