On our website and in our prize checker app, you can use your holder’s number to check the status of your prize.
Your holder’s number can be found on your Bond record or by logging onto your account. Your holder’s number is made up of 10 or 9 digits, or 8 digits and a letter.
How do I check the status of my Premium Bonds?
Not a member yet? You don’t need to create an online profile to withdraw money from your or your child’s Premium Bonds. All you have to do is complete a little online form. Make sure you have access to your account information.
Please note that in order to withdraw or close the account, you must be the person responsible for the child’s Premium Bonds.
You can withdraw money from Premium Bonds while ensuring that particular Bonds remain in the draw by filling out a form online.
A cashing in form can also be downloaded, printed, and completed. Then send us your completed form along with the Bond certificates that need to be cashed in (if you have them).
Is it possible to verify Premium Bonds using an app?
You can use the NS&I online prize checker to see if you’ve won a prize in the most recent monthly draw if you have Premium Bonds.
You can also check for yourself using the free app for iOS or Android, and Amazon Alexa devices can check for you, “remembering” the last six prize draws.
Your unique holder’s number, which can be found on your bond record or by login into your account on the NS&I website, is required to check on your Bonds. It’ll be nine or ten digits long, or an eight-digit number with a letter at the end.
How can I get into my NS&I account?
To log in, use your details if you have an NS&I account in your own name. If you don’t have an NS&I account, simply input the holder’s/account number of the donor’s account, as well as your own name and address. The donor’s accounts and investments will subsequently be added to your online dashboard.
What is the best way to handle my Premium Bonds online?
Additionally, once you’ve enrolled, applying for a new investment online or over the phone is faster and easier because we’ll already have all of your information.
What happens to Premium Bonds after someone dies?
They can, however, stay in the monthly Premium Bonds draws for up to a year after the client has passed away.
After the 12-month term has passed, the face value of the Premium Bonds, as well as any prizes won during that time, will be reimbursed to the dead customer’s estate.
To retain the Bonds in the draw, the person in charge of the deceased customer’s money should indicate this on the death claims form.
Any Premium Bonds awards won will be paid via prize cheque to the person entitled to the money – the estate’s executor – after the prize draw.
Any unclaimed awards will be held until the death claim is processed, after which they will be distributed.
Following the completion of the death claim, we will send any future prizes earned by check to the individual who is entitled to the money.
We are unable to award these prizes online or to consolidate and pay them at the end of the year.
How long can Premium Bonds go unclaimed before they expire?
Claims have no time limit, so you can go back as far as you like. Here’s how to get your hands on any prizes that haven’t been claimed yet: To begin your claim, call 08085 007 007 if you are a registered user of NS&I’s online and phone services.
Is the NS&I application secure?
Premium Bonds, NS&I’s most popular product, are perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when you think of NS&I – or National Savings & Investments.
Savings and investments with NS&I are supported by the UK Treasury, ensuring that any money you put in is completely safe.
This could make NS&I a more appealing alternative for depositors with more money than the Financial Services Compensation Scheme can guarantee (FSCS).
It has over 25 million customers in the UK who save and invest with it, and it offers products online, over the phone, and by mail.
NS&I interest rates and returns
Although NS&I provides the highest level of savings protection, this does not guarantee that its products will provide you with the best returns on your investment.
To select the perfect product for your situation, compare savings accounts, Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), and bonds.
NS&I provides a variety of tax-free and tax-deferred savings vehicles, some of which are only appropriate for certain age groups.
Taxable accounts
NS&I offers a variety of taxable savings alternatives, meaning you’ll have to pay income tax on your returns.
Although the interest is taxable in some accounts, it is paid without the tax being deducted. This means you’ll have to record the interest on your tax return each year and pay any tax payable to HMRC.
