This registry is the payment target type registry for payto:// URIs. payto:// URIs include the necessary information for making wire payments to a recipient. As there are many banking standards globally with different address formats (such as UPI in India, ACH in USA, IBAN in Europe), a payto:// URI begins with a string describing the method used to identify the recipient. This registry is used to ensure that the strings used in payment target types are well-defined and to ideally allow payto:// implementors to find out details about the respective payment system.
