Starting Aug. 1, 2019, Tilia will manage all users’ USD accounts, and it will be automatically associated with your Second Life account. Customers under 18 years old will not be able to process credit after August 1st.
If you wish to withdraw funds from Second Life, you must provide your name, address, date of birth and social security number or a government-issued identification if you are not a U.S. Citizen. In addition, you may have to provide further information to complete the transaction. This information will be a one-time requirement, which will be securely stored in your account for future transactions. The estimated time to process credit may take up to 30 business days.
