Redneck.bank ranks higher than their .com. Funny name for a bank but I guess it works... LOL

ironic that banks recognize the value of .bank domain names but refuse to recognize the value of domain names

how long before you can walk in to your bank and say i would like to pay in this domain name and the bank says ok that is credited to your account and be able to draw against it instantly?

i dont think its far away although i reckon someone like paypal or uniregistry may be the first to operate such a system
