I had signed up some time ago and forgot that my invite showed up this past July. Upon going through the process of creating an account, the final step was to deposit $200-$500 into the account.

I understand the need to get funds, but with the time energy and passion devoted towards the ease of use of the form and the comprehensive FAQ I could not find the answer as to why this minimum was required.

All the comments here are interesting, and I understand that switching costs are high, but the $200 barrier without explanation made be bounce from the form.

I really want to give this a shot, but I want to understand the required funds first.

Don't all banks require a minimum deposit when opening an account?

Most do (some do not) but it was the lack of explanation and the fact that its $200 that stopped me in my tracks.
