Cybercriminals thrive on confusion. When your website lives on a publicly-available domain like .com, they have ample opportunities to penetrate weakened security links leaving customers to wonder whether it’s truly you—or a well-crafted fake. Over time, that uncertainty undermines trust and leaves your bank exposed to costly data compromises.

A .Bank domain solves that problem.

Since 2011, fTLD Registry has pioneered domain innovation and security by collaborating with experts in cybersecurity, domain security, and the banking and insurance sectors to operate the trusted and most secure domains on the internet.

.Bank only grants its exclusive domains to verified banks, shutting out cybercriminals looking to impersonate your brand and is constantly improving its offering, making it significantly harder for cybercriminals to spoof emails, keeping financial organizations and their customers protected against phishing and online fraud.ABA invested in the creation of the .Bank extension to provide banks with an industry-governed and industry-created domain to protect banks and their customers from the most common cyberattacks.

The .Bank domain has robust security behind it, offering greater protection through:

  • Advanced security: Built-in protections like DNSSEC, HSTS, and email authentication to protect against cybercrime and phishing.
  • Customer trust: Customers will instantly recognize .Bank as a mark of legitimacy and security.
  • Simplified compliance: .Bank helps banks meet industry regulations with industry-approved security to safeguard your website and email channel.

Over 920 banks have already made the switch to .Bank. Is yours next?
