New updates or errors?

My friends whom I recommended revolut all of them said they need to verify their account first in order to use revolut. They said they just wanna try it out but due to this verify process they’re bit nervous. Please tell me is this a update or error?

you can use your account up to £750 without verification

But its not letting them. 4 friends created the account but its not letting them to even use revolut before verification. So this might be a error???

We’ve recently changed this, and new users need to verify their account before top up. This policy is in line with a UK banking regulation called 'Know your Customer’ (KYC) and is the process of a business verifying the identity of its clients. It is simply an anti-corruption and fraud measure.
