Buy your .money domain today

A .money domain suits businesses whose subject is finance, including fintech apps, payment services, money transfer companies, brokers and comparison sites.

It also works for publishers and creators covering personal finance, budgeting or investing. The word is broad enough to cover consumer products and financial infrastructure alike.

Anyone can register a .money domain on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no financial license to provide, no verification step and no geographic requirement.

Individuals as well as companies can register one. Because the extension is open, it describes your subject rather than confirming any regulatory status.

A .money domain and a .bank domain have very different requirements. .money is open to anyone, while .bank is restricted to banks that are chartered and supervised by a financial regulator.

.bank registrants must supply their regulatory details for verification before the name is issued, and the extension is sold through a small number of approved registrars. Cryptocurrency businesses, fintechs and payment apps are not eligible.

So .bank works as a credential, while .money simply describes what a site is about.

A .money domain describes your subject rather than proving your credentials, so trust comes from the site itself rather than the extension.

Publish your company name and registration details, name the people behind the business, set out clear terms and include any regulatory disclosures you are required to make. A secure connection and a professional design matter more to most visitors than the extension does.

The address sets an expectation that the rest of the page then needs to meet.

A .money domain reads more naturally after a product or brand name, while .finance suits a firm or advisory service, so the grammar of your own name usually decides it.

Say both versions aloud before choosing. A consumer app often sounds better on .money, and a professional practice often sounds better on .finance.

Yes, a .money domain works for custom business email as well as a website, and a matching address is worth having in finance where impersonation is common.

Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC through your email provider, and consider a strict DMARC policy. These records make your domain harder to spoof and help recipients confirm messages really came from you.

Rules on financial promotions apply to a .money website exactly as they would on any other extension, because they attach to the activity rather than to the domain.

If you carry out regulated business, your regulator's advertising and communication requirements apply to your website as they do to any other channel. Check the requirements that apply where you operate. This is general information rather than legal or financial advice.

A .money domain often renews at a higher price than the first-year rate, so check both figures before registering rather than only the introductory price.

This matters more if you register several names for different products or campaigns. Review your auto-renew settings and work out the annual cost across every name you intend to keep.

Yes, .money supports DNSSEC, which protects the DNS records that tell browsers where to find your website.

If your registrar and DNS provider both support it, enabling DNSSEC adds protection against attacks that try to redirect visitors somewhere else. It is a sensible step on any site handling financial information.
