.bbt Domain Information

Country flagLogo for .bbt Domain

Retail and commercial banking in the US market framed the .bbt application in ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program. As a three-letter banking string, it combined the two attributes that made a 2012-round application compelling: brevity that could not be sourced from any established namespace, and a closed structure that addresses account-verification phishing at its root by removing the registration step entirely.

The extension remains in the DNS root zone. Its position illustrates a wider question facing brand TLDs after merger activity — an extension is bound permanently to its string, so institutional renaming leaves an owned namespace without a matching identity, a constraint that does not apply to conventional second-level domains. Public registration is not offered.
