Name: snapcard.app domain
Brand: snapcard.app

Why this name

Not an invented brand. A fintech name that already shipped.

A name that already ran a payments company

Snapcard was a venture-backed payments startup — a bitcoin wallet, one-click checkout and a MassPay API, backed by Tim Draper and Blockchain Capital before winding down in 2017. The name already means payments; today it's an open, unencumbered brand.

.app means product, by design

Google's registry, and the first TLD in the world with HTTPS enforced for every site. The same extension that carries cash.app and prism.app — snapcard.app is the product URL of the brand, not a landing page.

Short, spellable, sayable

Two syllables. Eight letters. No hyphens, no numbers, nothing to misspell on a business card, in a pitch deck, or read aloud on a sales call. It reads like a brand but it means something: a card that snaps.

FAQ

Everything else you'd want to ask.

Is $100,000 a real price or a starting point?

It's the asking price for outright purchase. Every premium domain has a negotiation band, and serious funded offers are welcome — but the name won't move for a discount. Lease-to-own (12, 24 or 36 months) and the $1,000/mo lease are available so strong teams can secure it without a six-figure write-off.

How is the transfer secured?

Payment is held by a licensed escrow service (Escrow.com or Sedo) or handled by the selling marketplace. The domain doesn't leave the seller's account until funds clear; funds aren't released until you control the name. For lease-to-own, the domain is escrowed on a scheduled transfer so ownership lands in your account the moment the final payment clears.

Are you a broker? Are there any middleman fees?

No. You deal directly with the owner and registrant of the domain — no brokers, no marketplaces, no middlemen, and no commissions or listing fees on either side. The only third party in the transaction is neutral escrow, which safeguards funds and the transfer; standard escrow fees, if any, are disclosed up front.

What are the lease-to-own mechanics, exactly?

Choose a fixed term — 12, 24 or 36 months. At the default 36 months, that's $2,778/mo × 36 = $100,000. Each payment reduces the balance toward zero, and you can buy out at any time for the remaining balance — no penalty, no accrued interest. The domain is fully under your control and usable from month one; the registry transfer is executed automatically at final payoff via escrow.

What's the grace period, and what happens if I miss a payment?

Every payment under both lease-to-own and lease monthly includes a 15-day grace period from the due date. Cure within that window and the schedule continues unchanged — no penalty, no interest added.

Lease-to-own: if a payment isn't cured within the 15-day grace period, the agreement terminates. Payments already made are treated as rent for the period of use and do not vest any ownership interest — the build-toward-ownership schedule ends and no ownership share accrues. The domain remains with the seller.

Lease monthly: if a payment isn't cured within the 15-day grace period, the lease is terminated. You must stop using the domain and cooperate with its return to the seller's control at the registrar. Payments made cover the period actually used, which may include the grace period per the agreement.

Can I lease for a short term just to test?

Yes — it's a simple month-to-month lease. A lease-monthly plan at a fixed $1,000/mo gives you full commercial use with no ownership transfer and no obligation to buy. You can cancel any time with 30 days' notice. In the unlikely event the owner accepts a full-price offer, the lease can be ended with 30 days' notice to allow the sale — you'll always have time to transition. If you decide to purchase, you can buy out anytime at the full $100,000 asking price — the same price as an outright purchase, no discount and no penalty for having leased.

Why is snapcard.app priced at six figures?

Because it's a fintech-grade compound on .app, the extension where products actually launch. Comparable sales in the same lanes have cleared $120,000 (prism.app), $100,000 (viral.app) and $100,000 for a card-industry name (paycard.com), while purpose.app and QR.app have crossed $80,000. Snapcard isn't an invented brand — it already anchored a funded payments company, and today it's open, clean and unencumbered. That's what the market pays for.

Where does your comparable sales data come from?

Publicly reported sales tracked by NameBio, DNJournal and the TLD Investors market review, plus marketplace announcements from Sedo, Afternic and Top.Domains. Only transactions that appear in the public record are cited.

Who is the seller, and is the domain owned outright?

A private registrant, verified and in full control of snapcard.app with no encumbrances or disputes. Proof of ownership and registrar-level transfer verification are provided before any funds move.

Can I inspect the domain before offering?

Absolutely. Ask for registrar verification details, current DNS status and history. Serious inquiries get full technical diligence within 24 hours.

The name snapcard and related domains

Snapcard is a compound of the English words "snap" and "card". The name entered the public record in 2014 as Snapcard Inc., a San Francisco bitcoin and payments startup that built a mobile wallet, one-click checkout and the MassPay API for paying loyalty rewards, backed by Tim Draper, Blockchain Capital and Boost VC. The company wound down its wallet service in 2017; the name is now available as an open, unencumbered brand on the .app extension.

The word "card" is the core term of the payments category — credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, virtual cards and digital wallets. Real-world brands in the same lane include Cash App, which lives at cash.app, the debit-card programs issued through the Coinbase and Shift Payments partnership, and Tango Card, which partnered with Snapcard to bring bitcoin to rewards programs.

The same name is registered across several extensions. Related domains include snapcard.com, snapcard.io — the original home of the Snapcard company — and snapcard.co, each separately registered. On Google's .app extension every site is served over HTTPS by default and cannot be reached over insecure HTTP, which is why snapcard.app is the product-ready home for the name.

Leaders associated with names in the payments category include Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Block, the company behind Cash App at cash.app; Brian Armstrong, co-founder and CEO of Coinbase, the exchange that partnered with Shift Payments to issue a bitcoin Visa debit card; and Tim Draper, whose Draper Associates was among the seed backers of the original Snapcard.
