Great Way to save

I look forward to the monthly draw and always hoping for a prize Reviewed on: 28th July 2023

Forever hopeful of a good win

I get regular wins, albeit fairly small, but always look forward to seeing results at the beginning of each month. I’m satisfied that my money is in safe hands and am encouraged to invest more to stand a better chance of winning a decent prize. Reviewed on: 21st July 2023

Refusing to release deceased mother's funds

Refusing to release my deceased mother's funds without Grant of Probate. No other institution I've dealt with has required probate. So my father who needs these funds to pay for residential care has the stress and expense of applying for probate. Legally they have a discretion whether to require probate and it is really mean requiring it here. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

Do not give these criminals your cash

Their latest 'security' system is to ask you to answer 'security' questions that require that you are detail and character correct - so if you write eg Hull University instead of University of Hull or say use upper case on a instead of lower case it fails you. No simple errors. Then when you fail their 'security' checks they literally post you by surface mail a new password then invite you to do the same thing again. if you fail - another week for a new password. The system is clearly designed to prevent people from withdrawing money for as long as possible aka another ruse to allow the wealthy to aggregate the money of millions to invest for their own benefit whilst giving next to s*d all in return. Basically another state sanctioned form of corporate fraud. Reviewed on: 27th June 2023

Great investment

Easy to use, may not pay the best rate overall but always the chance of getting a huge return Reviewed on: 18th June 2023

Great Communication

Prompt automated notifications, with a well judged level of security that feels secure but isn't too time consuming or bothersome Reviewed on: 6th June 2023

£20,000 invested Crap return .

I have £ 20,000 invested and one would have thought that a modest win each month was possible, No Way ! Three months now and no wins ! Time to reassess where my money is invested , not happy with premium bonds . Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Premium Bonds

Had a few wins with NS&I. I know my money is safe and there's the added bonus of winning something. Better return than interest rates, Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Premium bonds

Great idea for saving and with a chance in winning big. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Premium bonds occasional win

Not as good odds as previously, and inflation is making the bonds worse value Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
