Signets is a payment stack for adding purchasing, collections, payouts, and money movement to AI workflows. It creates cards, wallets, and accounts on demand while enforcing budgets, vendor restrictions, and approvals inside the payment path rather than relying on model instructions.
Key Features
- Controlled Card Issuance: Create cards for agent purchases and browser checkout.
- Virtual Accounts: Support collections, payouts, and agent-directed money movement.
- Policy-Bound Purchasing: Enforce budgets, vendor allowlists, and approval workflows.
- Unified Reconciliation: Connect intent, authorization, execution, and reconciliation.
- Multiple Rails: Work with stablecoins and traditional bank rails.
Use Cases
Who Should Use This Tool?
- Agent Platforms adding payments without building financial infrastructure.
- Operations Teams managing automated purchasing and reconciliation.
- Finance Leaders seeking controlled agent access to cards and accounts.
Problems It Solves
- Fragmented payment systems: One stack covers issuance, movement, and records.
- Prompt-only controls: Policies are enforced during payment execution.
- Reconciliation gaps: Each payment remains connected to its original intent.
