Review of the NS&I, Premium Bond:

Simple process and good return.

Simple process and good return. A safe option for saving your money with a higher than average prize return Reviewed on: 11th October 2024

They are Best

It's a good way for save money for children future without paying any fees or tax. And easy to transfer money in app. Reviewed on: 18th February 2023

Total nightmare - stay well clear

6 months trying to access and with draw y children's money, they throw every obstacle at you so that you just don't bother 40 minuets on hold every time when phoning mindless forms that keep getting repeatedly sent. STILL NO MONEY Reviewed on: 17th February 2023

Good investment

Premium bonds are a good long-term investment. It's easy to set up or invest more money, the app works well and I always feel encouraged to invest more in the future. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Good fun, safe

Great option for higher rate tax payers Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Never again

A nightmare just to get in... several different numbers and now two step authentication. Telling me to change my browset . I want a simple life Reviewed on: 8th December 2022

Frustrating. Unbelievably poor.

I don't where to start!! So here goes. 45 mins I was on the phone this afternoon to try and find out if my text message was genuine that I was one of the monthly winners. Checked on my app too and I wasn't. Reviewed on: 6th December 2022

Frustration is the only guarantee

After weeks of not being able to log in, several long calls (mostly in a queue) and nice but useless staff (because of the issues not the individuals) I have tried to pull my money out and you need another number that you need to login to obtain, see where this is going? Im in the circle of doom. sack some bosses here its shambolic. Reviewed on: 10th November 2022

"customer services", which is a misnomer.

Rubbish, unable to get beyond a certain point, used to be easy to buy at the post office. Unable to get through on phone to so called helpline Reviewed on: 10th November 2022

Pain in arse

Made a whole new security authentication device lark and what a load of pish. If they’ve updated the old caveman ways and just had it easy normal security NS&I then it would be so much better. The people on chat couldn’t be arsed trying to help you online. The rates are ok for a child’s saving but ever winning anything monthly is not frequent. All these half whits who's put in a lot of money in a very short time seem to win it big !! Reviewed on: 7th November 2022

No wins

The amount I have I should have at least won the min prize of £25 at least but in 7 months I’ve never won anything to even get the 2.2% I should at least get £50 a month for the next 5 draws especially when I can now get over 5% in the bank now. Reviewed on: 2nd November 2022
