# How it works?

The financial world is changing. The new finance stack is being built on blockchains, powered by stablecoins, and designed for a world where value moves as freely as information.

Sorbet brings this future to your business today — giving you faster payments, better cash flow, and full control over your money.

***

#### **1. Your Sorbet Wallet**

When you sign up, you instantly get a **non-custodial wallet**.

* This means your wallet is **self-custody** — you own the funds inside it, not Sorbet.
* Sorbet cannot access or move your money. You stay in control, always.

#### **2. Powered by USDC**

Every payment in Sorbet runs on **USDC**, a digital dollar issued by [**Circle**](https://www.circle.com/), the most trusted stablecoin issuer in the world.

* USDC ensures your funds are stable, global, and easy to use.
* It lets you get paid from anywhere, in minutes, not days.

***

#### **3. Seamless Fiat Access with Due Network**

Through our partner [Due Network](https://www.opendue.com/), you get **virtual bank accounts.**

* Your clients can pay you just like a normal bank transfer.
* Behind the scenes, payments move via USDC — giving you instant access and global flexibility.

***

#### **4. Built for Global Work**

With Sorbet, you can:

* Get same-day global payment&#x20;
* Hold funds in your **self-custody wallet**.
* Send money to your **bank account** or another **wallet** instantly.

***

#### **Why It Matters**

* **Faster payments** mean healthier cash flow.
* **Lower fees** mean more money stays with you.
* **Self-custody** means full control of your earnings.

Sorbet isn’t just a tool. It’s a new way to manage money — built for the global, digital-first economy.
