No fuss ISAs

I was fed up with banks changing the ISA rate after the initial year and giving derisory rates. It was such a fiddle to change the provider. The Family Building Society market tracker ISA gives a reasonable rate and saves constantly swapping around. You could get a slightly better rate if you are inclined to shop around, but there's not much in it. ( Disclosure: I also do some work for the FBS.) Reviewed on: 20th December 2017

Windfall

Just like premium bonds with interest. Reviewed on: 16th November 2017

Disappointing. Very low number of winning bonds.

They claim to have 13 winning draws from the 10,000 bonds each month (1 x £50.000, 2 x£10,000 and 10 x£1000; but in 2015 there were only 12 winners in total for the whole year and in 2016 just 22 winners for the total year, including 3 in a January bonus draw. I wrote to ask how many bonds were actually purchased, but they refused to disclose this. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017
