What are NS&I Premium Bonds?
NS&I Premium Bonds are a unique way to save money with the UK government. For each £1 you save, you get one bond. Each bond is entered into a draw every month for a chance to win. You don’t earn interest like normal savings.
Instead, you can win prizes. All prizes are free from tax and can be as small as £25 or as big as £1 million. Your original money is safe and won’t go down.
You can buy Premium Bonds starting from £25 up to a maximum of £50,000. There’s no guaranteed return, but your initial investment remains secure, and you have the chance to win big every month.
The draws are conducted using a random number generator called ERNIE (Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment), ensuring fairness and transparency.
