So, um, the Lab kinda dropped a bomb on things recently.
It's called Tilla.
According to the FAQ:
What is Tilia?
Tilia is a subsidiary of Linden Lab that offers certain financial services to the Second Life community and helps Second Life comply with U.S. laws and regulations.
As of August 1, 2019, Tilia assumes management of your account's U.S. dollar balance in the form of your Tilia account. Tilia also handles process credit requests and payments made from your Tilia account. A Tilia account associated with your Second Life account is created automatically, and you do not need a separate username or password to access your Tilia account.

At this point, relax and keep dancing.
(There will be plenty of time to panic and freak out later.)
