3 Introduction ftld Registry Services, LLC founded by leaders in the financial services community was granted the right to operate.bank and has a deep understanding of the global banking community, its customers and its institutions needs. ftld works diligently to enhance trust and security for.bank and has committed to providing a thorough verification process for.bank domain registrants before they are awarded a domain. All organizations requesting domains in.bank must be verified as meeting ftld s Registrant Eligibility Policy, that the domain complies with the Name Selection Policy and that the person requesting the domain is authorized by the entity to do so. Symantec has been selected as the Registry Verification Provider for ftld for the.bank domain. Business identity verification is one of Symantec s core competencies, and today Symantec performs business identity verification for the digital certificate products it offers, such as SSL certificates. In the case of.bank domains, Symantec will provide the.bank verification service, entirely decoupled from digital certificates. For domain registrars familiar with SSL certificates, the.bank verification process is similar to the Certificate Authority Browser Forum Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate validation process. As a registrar selling.bank domain names, your understanding of the.bank verification practices is essential to the success of.bank. ftld and Symantec have created this guide to provide an overview of this process.

4 .BANK Verification Process For.BANK orders, Symantec will perform the following verification steps: 1. Security Check To support compliance with applicable local and international laws, every application will undergo a security check to ensure that Symantec does not approve any Verification Applications for organizations or persons found on any government and/or Symantec-maintained restricted lists/black lists or lists provided by ftld. 2. Organization, Jurisdiction, and Banking Credentials Verification Symantec will verify that the Registrant is a registered and active organization in a jurisdiction appropriate to its business location and has valid credentials proving that it meets the requirements of the.bank Registrant Eligibility Policy. 3. Verification of Domain Name Selection Symantec will verify that the applied-for domain names meet the requirements of the.bank Name Selection Policy. 4. Verification of Physical Address Symantec will verify the address listed in the application as a valid address for the Registrant organization using Symantec approved databases. 5. Verification of Telephone Number Symantec will verify the Registrant organization s telephone number using Symantec approved databases. 6. Registrant Contact Employment Symantec will initiate telephony contact to verify with Registrant organization s Human Resources (or appropriate department) that the Registrant organization s contact person is a full-time/non-contracting employee of the organization. 7. Registrant Contact Authority Symantec will initiate telephony contact to identify the Registrant Contact s manager within the Registrant organization with Human Resources (or appropriate department) and contact this person to confirm that the Registrant Contact is authorized to request domains on behalf of the organization.

5 .BANK Re-Verification Process Re-Verification of registrants and their domain names will be triggered under the following circumstances: 1. Renewal of a domain name or every two years (whichever occurs first) 2. Change to the organization name 3. Upon request to the Registrar by the Registry Operator Re-Verifications are handled exactly as the initial verification and all steps including direct contact with the Registrant for employment and authority verification will occur.
