How to check your Premium Bonds
YOU don't want to be sitting on winnings you don't even realise you need to collect, do you? Here's how to make sure you don't miss out:
Make sure you know your Premium Bonds number to log into your account online. Your holder’s number has either ten or nine digits or eight digits followed by a letter. If you still can’t find your Premium Bond number you can write to NS&I and ask for it.
Check if you were bought Bonds as a child that you're unaware of/have forgotten about.
Check NS&I have your correct address and personal details - this is the most common way that prizes go unclaimed.
Once you know if you've won a prize but not received it, you’ll need to write to NS&I to reclaim the cash. NS&I's postal address is as follows: NS&I, Glasgow, G58 1SB.
Shockingly, there are over 1.5 million prizes worth more than £61 million that currently remain unclaimed.
This happens if you were bought Bonds as a child or if NS&I don’t hold your current address details - so it's always important to update your address and details with NS&I.
More than £61million in Premium Bonds prizes went unclaimed last month - have you checked if you were a winner?
NS&I have cut the minimum savings limit to £25 so you can now buy Premium Bonds with less money.
