.bankofamerica
Is .bankofamerica a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.bankofamerica is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Bank of America.
A single-company brand namespace: useful to that one bank for secure links, with no addresses for anyone else and no resale market.
the applicant organization itself, for its own customer-facing and internal services; no third-party registrants
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet exactly: a US money-center bank compacting its full multi-word corporate name into one string so its own retail, wealth and institutional identity can live on it, which only works if a single institution's brand equity is strong enough to justify a namespace nobody else may enter.
Another universal bank putting its full legal brand name on a closed namespace as a trust-and-anti-phishing play for regulated consumer banking, the same buyer type and the same requirement that customers learn to read the right-hand side of the address as proof of authenticity.
Like the target it is a bank's own name that reads as a generic descriptive phrase rather than a coined mark, so the bet carries the extra condition that one institution can hold a bank-category-sounding string as exclusive identity; it differs in being shorter and more claimable-looking as a generic.
What a .bankofamerica domain is
.bankofamerica is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Brand. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .bankofamerica domain extension real yet?
.bankofamerica is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .bankofamerica domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .bankofamerica name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens.
Is .bankofamerica a real TLD?
Not yet. .bankofamerica is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .bankofamerica is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow), at its floor. The string is a company name, and the record shows a single confirmed application (ML 35 LLC, ICANN ID M3L2665T-T77760) with contention count 1 and no category tag; everything else here is analogy. By analogy with closed brand TLDs from the earlier round (banks and other large firms that operate their own TLD), the namespace is restricted to the operator: no open registrations, no price point, no aftermarket, and no third-party buyer. That rules out the 30-49 band, which requires registrations at volume or on price. It sits above 1-9 because, by analogy with brand TLDs that a financial institution actually deploys, there is a genuine primary-identity use for the one buyer that exists: trusted, hard-to-spoof addresses for customer login, statements and campaigns, which matters more in financial services than in most categories. The value is therefore real but entirely captive. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator actively migrates customer-facing properties onto the TLD over the next 5 years or leaves it dormant or redirect-only, as by analogy many brand TLDs have; active deployment would place it higher within the band, dormancy would push it toward the band below. Delegation and general availability are assumed per the rubric.
