Key changes to Premium Bonds rules
Bond holders now have a better chance of winning a prize as NS&I has changed the rules for the scheme. From the September draw, the odds of each £1 being paired with a prize have improved, up from 22,000 to one to 21,000 to one.
The prize fund rate has also gone up, from the previous 3.8 per cent to 4.35 per cent. This is the second time this year that NS&I has improved prospects for customers.
From the July draw, the provider increased the chances of a win from 23,000 to one to 22,000 to one. The savings giant also increased the prize fund rate from July, up from 3.3 per cent to 3.3 per cent to 3.8 per cent.
This was a happy reverse in fortune, after the provider reduced both the odds of winning and the prize fund rate back in April.
