Best guess: Nordstrom Rack, the off-price retail arm of Nordstrom. The label exactly matches the brand name, and the pay TLD fits a checkout/payment-related defensive registration.

Frequently asked questions about argos.pay
For online checkout, 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 pre-order argos.pay before .PAY launches?
Yes — domain.pay offers a first-day pre-order so you can queue argos.pay ahead of general availability. The standard pre-order is $100 and, per policy, failed attempts are refundable. Place your pre-order for argos.pay at https://domain.pay/register.
For crypto payments, can I reserve payroll.pay before broader registration opens?
Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.
What if a former partner refuses to release argos.pay?
If a former partner holds argos.pay without legitimate right and uses it in bad faith against NicNames, a UDRP-style dispute may be considered, though outcomes depend on the agreement and evidence. Clear contracts and early registration of the argos name help avoid this. https://domain.pay/
For fraud prevention, is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing?
.PAY can work for subscription billing, account payment, renewal and failed-payment recovery flows. Search brandable options on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. A clear .PAY label can reduce confusion when customers need to update payment details.
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.
