I have recently heard about needing to have the required 500k for atleast 6 months in your personal bank account.. By the end of this month I have well over 500k but not for 6 months yet..

Do any of you have experience with this? If this is true I have to wait a lil longer to apply😩

When I applied last year I moved it from savings account to current account the day before applying. But I don't know, could have changed in the meantime.
