Dot .Bank is the secure, specialized gTLD for banks and financial institutions.
Although it’s an open gTLD and not a closed, corporate one, it requires certification.
After each dot .Bank application is processed, the applicant must meet strict criteria, and to be an official, licensed – you guessed it – Bank.
This might disappoint those that might have wanted to capitalize on dot .Bank for two reasons:
Blood.Bank and Sperm.Bank.
Sorry folks. You can’t have these. Or those, for that matter. 😀
