Register your .loan domain from just £27.49/yr. Free DNS management, email forwarding, and 10GB mailbox included with every domain.
What is a .loan domain?
The .loan domain is the singular counterpart to .loans, and its brevity is its strength. Mortgage brokers, peer-to-peer lenders, student loan advisers, and short-term finance providers all benefit from a four-letter extension that gets straight to business. It's particularly effective for single-product lending sites where the focus is on one type of loan.

The .loan domain and its filtering reputation
Company matters more here than usual. .loan is run by dot Loan Limited, with operating functions provided by Global Registry Services Limited, and GRS publishes the rest of its portfolio openly: .win, .men, .bid, .stream, .review, .trade, .date, .party, .download, .science, .racing, .accountant, .faith, .webcam and .cricket. That is a family of low-cost, high-volume extensions, and reputation systems do not assess a domain in isolation.
The practical consequence is worth planning for rather than arguing with. Spam filters, browser warnings and corporate security products all weigh the extension a domain sits under, and a new address in this family gets less benefit of the doubt than an established .co.uk. If outbound email matters to how you sell, send from a domain with history and use the .loan for the website.
It was delegated in March 2015 and registration is open worldwide, with no lending licence checked and nothing to evidence. Consumer credit in the UK is FCA territory regardless, and the address neither adds to nor subtracts from that obligation.
Is .loan the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.loan works well if
- You are a single-product lender or broker, and one short word after the dot describes the whole business without any further explanation.
- You want a campaign or product address that will not carry your outbound email, so filtering reputation is somebody else's problem and not yours.
- The four-letter extension gives you a name short enough to fit a display advert where the alternatives would not.
Look elsewhere if
- Email deliverability matters to your sales process. Newer money-related extensions get less benefit of the doubt from filters than an established domain does.
- You lend to UK consumers who are already cautious. Anything unfamiliar on a credit page adds friction to a decision people are nervous about.
- You want the address to imply you are authorised. Nothing is checked at registration, so it implies nothing at all to anyone who knows how this works.
Lending or broking to UK consumers? A .co.uk carries a UK signal, costs less, and gets a fairer hearing from filters. See .co.uk pricing.
.loan vs .co.uk: which should you register?
Reputation is the axis this turns on, not price. A .co.uk is Nominet-run, has been the default British business address for decades, is cheaper to renew, and is read by Google as a UK site. On a page about borrowing money, where the visitor is already weighing whether to trust you, none of that is a small thing.
A .loan gives you a four-letter word that states the product, which is a real branding asset for a single-product lender. Use it as the marketing address for a specific product and keep the .co.uk as the address that carries your email, your paperwork and the pages a customer reads before parting with details. That way you get the memorability without inheriting the filtering problem.
.loan domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .loan domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyThey can, and it is the practical risk to plan around. Filters and security products score the extension as one input among many, and a newly registered domain in a low-cost family starts with less credit than an established one. Proper SPF, DKIM and DMARC records help, and so does time. If email is central to how you sell, send from a domain with history and use the .loan for the website and the advertising.
The extension is contracted to dot Loan Limited, with operating and coordinating functions provided by Global Registry Services Limited, which trades as GRS Domains. It was delegated in March 2015. GRS also runs fifteen other extensions including .win, .men, .bid, .accountant and .science, which is useful context: reputation systems tend to treat the family as a group rather than judging each extension separately.
No. There is no lending licence checked, no authorisation to evidence and no location requirement, so registration is open to anyone. In the UK, arranging, brokering or providing consumer credit is regulated by the FCA and the domain changes nothing about what that requires. Consumers should check the FCA register rather than reading anything into an address, and firms should not present the extension as though it means anything.
