What is the .creditcard extension?
.creditcard is a generic top-level domain aimed at card issuers, card-comparison publishers and payment businesses, managed today by Binky Moon, LLC under Identity Digital. IANA delegated it on 29 April 2014 to Binky Frostbite, LLC; the zone moved to Binky Moon in 2018.

At ten letters the string is long, so names on it work best as two-word phrases: rewards.creditcard, studentfirst.creditcard.
Who should consider a .creditcard name in India?
Three groups justify the cost: card-comparison and rewards publishers, issuers or co-brand partners running a single card campaign, and brands registering defensively against phishing. India’s card market is issued only by RBI-regulated banks and NBFCs, so anyone else using the extension is a publisher or adviser, not an issuer.
Co-brand campaign pages
A retailer or airline launching a co-branded card can park the offer on brandname.creditcard while the bank processes applications.
Defensive registration
Issuers and fintechs block look-alike names that fraudsters could use for fake “card upgrade” or “limit increase” pages.
Financial educators
Trainers teaching billing cycles, minimum-due traps and credit utilisation build a course site with a self-explanatory name.

Rules that come with a .creditcard site
Registration itself is open — the registry checks no banking licence — but a site on .creditcard that touches card data falls under payment-security rules the domain cannot waive. These are the obligations Indian site owners most often overlook.
- No stored card numbers: since RBI’s card-on-file tokenisation rules took effect on 1 October 2022, merchants and their sites must not keep customers’ full card details.
- PCI DSS: if any card field is entered on your own pages, the payment flow must meet PCI DSS; a hosted checkout from your payment gateway is the simpler route.
- Accurate claims: a comparison site must not suggest it issues cards or guarantees approval.
- Registrant honesty: real contact details and a monitored email, as with any gTLD.
.creditcard vs .credit and .money
Use .creditcard only when cards are the entire subject; .credit covers loans and cards together, and .money suits broader personal-finance content at about a quarter of the price. Visitors who distrust unusual endings will still type .com, so a publisher should hold the .com or .in and redirect it.
Look-alike risk cuts both ways: an unfamiliar finance ending can itself look like phishing to wary readers. A visible company name, a contact page and an SSL certificate answer that doubt faster than the domain can.
Launching a .creditcard site
Once registered, point the name at a host with HTTPS enforced from the first day, because browsers flag any form on a finance domain served without it. Content-heavy comparison sites run well on WordPress hosting; the domain registration India hub and the guide to protecting a domain name help plan the defensive names around it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who manages the .creditcard domain?
IANA lists Binky Moon, LLC, care of Identity Digital Inc., Bellevue, Washington, as manager. The extension was first delegated to Binky Frostbite, LLC in April 2014 and transferred to Binky Moon in March 2018.
Can a card-rewards blogger in India register .creditcard?
Yes. No bank licence or issuer relationship is required. Make clear on the site that you review cards rather than issue them, and disclose affiliate links where you are paid per application.
Why is .creditcard so much more expensive than .com?
Pricing for finance strings like this one starts at the registry, and WebJi® billing reflects it: ₹17,711 to register and ₹19,906 to renew, before GST, against ₹1,380 for .com. Budget for the renewal figure, not the first-year one.
Can I accept card payments on a .creditcard site?
Yes, through an RBI-authorised payment aggregator or gateway. Use its hosted or tokenised checkout so card numbers never touch your server; storing them is not permitted under RBI’s tokenisation rules.
Is .creditcard protected by DNSSEC?
The zone is DNSSEC-signed with a secure delegation from the root. Signing your own name adds protection against forged DNS answers, which is worth doing on any finance-related domain.
