A new way to buy savings bonds

4

Having been a holder of Premium Bonds for several years, I was very interested to see this alternative version offered by the Family Building Society. The odds of winning are better than HS&I Bonds, although the "jackpot" is less and you have to buy in minimum quantities of ten thousand pounds. The process of buying was simple, secure and straight forward. No wins yet, but I am playing a waiting game before I finally make my mind up about this product. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Old-fashioned savings...

I have held Premium Bonds for about 3 years now. Naturally, the winning is a bit hit and miss. Not an account for those who need their money to earn interest. However, I like the fun of getting a "prize". The odds of winning were reduced last year, but have now improved again. I have recently gone online (I used to receive cheques in the post). The procedure was straightforward and not too time consuming, whilst still providing a secure system. A fun way to save, but not for everybody. Thank you Reviewed on: 9th April 2018

A good place to bank

I have banked with Nationwide for many years. I have found them to be straightforward, helpful and honest. They always try to help, and have specialist staff who are easy to contact when I need more in-depth advice. Whilst no easy access accounts offer great returns, I find Flexdirect a good product that fulfills my day-to-day banking requirements. It is easy to use and all the basics can be done at the ATM machine. A great help in very small bank that happens to very busy! Reviewed on: 21st November 2017

Reliable and trustworthy

I have used Petplan equine insurance for many years. I have found their customer services assistants to be efficient, polite and helpful. The are very knowledgeable about the products they sell. Petplan offer a comprehensive range of equine insurance products. I am able to continue insuring my aging pony at a competitive price. I may pay a slightly higher premium than horse owners using less specialized companies. However, this is balanced by the peace of mind I get from using a trusted and well established company.
