Premium Bonds - Saving by standing order
The easy way to increase your chances of winning
You can build up your investment in Premium Bonds and increase your chances of winning tax-free prizes - by standing order.
Once you’ve made your first purchase of Premium Bonds and we’ve issued you with a holder’s number, you can start investing regularly.
If you already hold Premium Bonds and would like to invest regularly then there are two ways to do this:
-
set up your standing order through your online bank or
-
print and complete the form below and send or take it to your bank or building society. (Please do not send to NS&I or take to your local Post Office®.)
Before you set up your standing order please read the following important information:
What you need to know before you invest regularly
-
Investors must be 16 or over (Bonds cannot be bought by standing order by or on behalf of a child under 16).
-
The minimum monthly investment by standing order is £50, and larger amounts need to be in whole pounds (if we receive a payment that is less than £50, we will refund it in full to your bank account and write to let you know). Remember the maximum you can hold in Premium Bonds is £30,000.
-
The standing order payments must be from your own bank or building society account.
-
You can cancel your standing order at any time by contacting your bank or building society.
-
The date of purchase of each Bond will be the date we receive your payment – so if you want to buy your Bonds towards the end of each month, make sure you allow enough time for your payment to reach us.
