What is a .cash domain?
The .cash domain is blunt in the best way. Payment platforms, cashback sites, currency exchange services, and money transfer companies all benefit from an extension that cuts straight to the point. It's short, it's punchy, and it tells visitors your site is about moving money. No one needs to guess what you do.

How .cash reads to someone about to pay you
Say it out loud before you buy it. .cash is four letters, unambiguous and close to impossible to misspell, and that is the strongest thing about it. It is also blunt in a way that helps some businesses and undermines others. A cashback site, a currency exchange, a scrap metal buyer or a we-buy-anything service is helped by the word. A wealth manager is not.
The word carries an association with physical money and with speed, which is why it sits well on quick-settlement services and badly on anything that wants to sound patient. It also carries an association with informality, and in a sector where customers are on alert for fraud, informality has a cost. Anyone paying you for the first time is looking for reasons to trust the page, and an extension they have never seen is one more thing on the wrong side of that ledger.
Underneath, it is an Identity Digital extension operated by Binky Moon, delegated in April 2014, carrying the Category 1 public interest commitments that apply across the finance group. Through your registrar you undertake to comply with applicable law and to apply reasonable security to sensitive financial data. No licence is checked. The FCA's position is that all financial promotions must be clear, fair and not misleading regardless of the media type, and it applies that to websites like any other medium, so the page behind the address is where the real obligations bite.
Is .cash the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.cash works well if
- Your service pays people quickly and says so, and the word does that job in four letters nobody mishears on a phone call.
- You want a short brandable pairing where the extension completes the phrase, so the whole address is two words and one dot.
- You advertise on radio or vehicle livery, where a four-letter extension is easier to say and to remember than a long one.
- The .com for your brand name has gone, and the .cash version reads better anyway because the word is part of what you offer.
Look elsewhere if
- You want to sound established and careful. Cash reads fast and informal, which is the wrong register for advice, wealth or pensions.
- First-time customers will hand you money on that page. An unfamiliar extension makes the trust conversation harder and no amount of design buys that back.
- You need a geographic signal. A .co.uk costs roughly a third as much and tells Google the site is aimed at UK users.
Handling UK consumer payments? Lead with the .co.uk and keep .cash for the campaign. See .co.uk pricing.
.cash vs .money: which should you register?
Two extensions, the same registry, prices close enough to be a coin toss. What separates them is temperature. Cash is immediate and physical. Money is broader and calmer, and it stretches to advice, education and comparison in a way cash does not.
If the site is about moving funds now, .cash. If it is about managing, comparing or explaining funds, .money. A budgeting app reads better on .money. A same-day settlement service reads better on .cash. Say both versions of your name out loud and the wrong one usually announces itself.
Both carry the same Category 1 obligations and neither checks a licence, so there is no regulatory reason to prefer one. This really is a decision about tone.

.cash domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .cash domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyNo. Registration is open and nothing about your permissions is checked or recorded. The registry agreement carries commitments about complying with applicable law and securing sensitive financial data, but they reach you as undertakings in your registrar's terms rather than as a gate at the checkout. Whether you need authorisation depends entirely on what you actually do with the site, and the FCA is the body that answers that question, not a domain registry.
It can, and pretending otherwise would be doing you no favours. People about to send money to a business they have not used before scan the address bar for anything unfamiliar, and a four-letter extension they have never seen is a small friction at the worst possible moment. You offset it the usual way: visible company details, a registration number, real reviews, and a checkout that behaves the way people expect. If you cannot invest in that, a .co.uk is the safer address.
It depends on what the product does, and the two words are not interchangeable. Cash implies speed and physical money, so it fits payments, settlement, cashback and exchange. Money is calmer and broader, so it fits budgeting, comparison, education and advice. Both come from the same registry at a near-identical price and carry the same obligations. Write your brand name against both and read them aloud, because the wrong one tends to sound wrong immediately.
Yes, the registry places no restriction on it, but the rules around what you publish are tighter than they used to be. The FCA now regulates financial promotions covering cryptoassets alongside loans, investments, savings and pensions, and requires that every promotion is clear, fair and not misleading whatever the medium. A website is a medium. Choosing .cash for a crypto brand is a marketing decision, and the compliance work sits on the pages rather than on the address.
