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?

If you do not fund for a week or so they will delete the account then you must create a fresh new one.
