.PAY domain
Checking availability…
Amazon Registry Services operates the .PAY top-level domain. A regional bank can search, pre-order or start a trademark-priority route through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay is the customer-facing place to act, while registry rules still control availability and eligibility.
NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on lancity.pay. If the signature and mark match the lancity string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on lancity.pay. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.
Yes. A fintech founder can use .PAY for a branded payment page if the name is available and registry rules are met. Search the label and choose trademark fast-track or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
If lancity.pay appears to have little contention, VIP priority handling is optional and mainly useful when timing is tight at the drop. You can still secure lancity.pay at the $100 standard or premium lancity rate without it. Weigh the options at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
