Premium Bonds
Last reviewed:
Definition: An NS&I savings product where each £1 bond is entered into a monthly tax-free prize draw instead of paying interest. Maximum holding £50,000.
Prizes range from £25 to £1m. The annual prize fund rate is set by NS&I (variable). Capital is 100% safe (HM Treasury-backed) but returns are highly variable for small holdings.
