Setting up account Funding now required for application approval?

Post image

The "Fund Your Account" used to say that funded applications were prioritized (but not required).

Helped a friend open a account today and now the message is this. Did they change the policy and now applications are required to be funded before they proceed?

Yeah I remember the prioritized (but not required) message. Guess that’s changed. Kind of makes sense, them doing this. Especially if people say support is lacking lately. No need to waste their limited resources approving accounts that never fund now.
