About Alby Accounts

Alby is your companion for bitcoin payments in the digital world of apps and the real world of brick-and-mortar businesses.

As such Alby is offering products and services to make use of programmable money and instant low-cost payments.

That's why Alby created a managed lightning wallet service. This service is no longer offered and only maintained to serve existing users.
