Review of the NS&I, Premium Bond:

Safe and reasonable return

Premium Bonds are the one everyone knows when it comes to NS&I, with a limit of £50,000 and no guaranteed return they might not be for everyone but your money is 100% safe from financial collapse of institutions and the winnings are 100% tax free so if you're likely to pay tax on interest then Premium Bonds may be for you. The monthly lottery can be an exciting moment of surprise for those with the right temperament not to be disappointed if they're unlucky. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Disgraceful customer services.

No big wins yet, but there are very small wins most months that keep my interest going Reviewed on: 9th October 2023

Never won

1
I am nearly 55 x years old and have never won and neither has my sister. These were bought when we were born. Although I agree it is a small amount, it was however a gift amount back in the day. Very disappointed to say the least. The login system is difficult to navigate and I have made 2 x phone calls now to try and sort, there is a further mail shot coming out to me shortly. Not sure I will bother, seems pointless. Reviewed on: 4th October 2023

Small winnings but better return than an ISA

We have won many small prizes on Premium Bonds Reviewed on: 30th August 2023

Easy to move money in and out

Easy to set up an account. Staff really helpful when I needed to make a transfer out. The App is great for checking prizes. Reviewed on: 9th August 2023
