Premium bonds
A Premium Bond is a bond that is issued by the United Kingdom government’s National Savings and Investments scheme. The government promises to buy back the bond on request at its original price. The government also pays interest on the Premium Bond, but instead of directly paying into individual accounts, the interest is paid into a prize fund. A monthly lottery distributes prize money from the prize fund, which is entirely tax-free or premiums to some selected bondholders whose bond numbers are selected randomly. The machine that generates random numbers for the lottery is called ERNIE, Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment.
National Savings and Investments: National Savings and Investments, formerly called the National Savings Bank, is a state-owned savings bank in the United Kingdom. The main aim is to attract funds from individual savers in the UK, to fund the government’s public sector-borrowing requirement. The National Savings and Investments head office is in Kensington, London and its operational sites are in Glasgow, Blackpool and Durham. NS&I’s attract savers by offering saving products with tax free elements and 100% guarantee from the HM treasury over any products.
Unclaimed Premium bonds: Ever wondered if ERNIE has pulled out your lucky number and not informed you because you have not updated your new address? It is observed that one out of four people who relocate forget to pass on their change of address and contact details to their financial providers. This negligence has led to the growing amount of unclaimed Premium Bond prize money. By regularly checking the entry page of Unclaimed Premium Bond Checker, you can access the bond result and unclaimed prize on a regular basis.
Premium bonds-Bond winner: According to the National Savings and Investments, prize money worth 0,000 is lying unclaimed by the bond winners. NS&I notifies the bond winners by writing directly to the customers who own the premium bonds and those who have not yet claimed their prize money can check for any unclaimed prizes in the Premium Bonds checker list. There is no time limit for claiming the bond prize. The unclaimed prize money is held until the bond winner is tracked.

You can cash your Saving Bonds at any bank or credit union.
