self custody

wallets store value, hold keys, and manage long-term assets. machines is built for spending.

you keep savings in your wallet. you move spending cash into machines. you still need a wallet to create and control your machines account, approve actions, and withdraw funds.

we never hold your keys. we do not replace your wallet.

machines separates storage from spending on purpose. this reduces risk and makes spending safer. machines cash is a productivity and control layer. it makes existing wallets faster, safer, and easier to use.

neobanks and payment apps hold money and sit in the middle. even crypto payment apps manage rails and act on your behalf. machines does not.

machines is not a bank or a payments provider. funds enter machines to be spent, not stored as savings. your wallet signs and authorizes every critical action.

the core idea is simple: use any and many accounts. separate custody from spending. avoid lock-in. keep trust explicit.
