How to check if you are a September Premium Bond Winner
To check if you are a premium Bond prize winner, you can either download the official prize checker app on Android or iOS, or use the prize checker on nsandi.com. Keep your Premium Bond Holder number and NS&I number at hand.
You can also set up your Alexa device to check if you’ve won. The device can tell you what you’ve won, how much, and information about upcoming draws. The good thing is it also tells you any prizes you have left to claim since July 1968.
To do this, go onto your Alexa app and activate the NS&I Premium Bonds prize checker skill. Enter your NS&I number, and you’re all set.
How will my NS&I prize be paid?
According to NS&I, the majority of the time prizes are paid automatically into your bank account or reinvested into premium bonds. If you’re not already set up for automatic payments, you can do so on the NS&I website.
Is now a good time to buy premium bonds?
NS&I hiked the prize fund on premium bonds from 4% in August to 4.65% in September - the highest level since 1999.
Plus, the odds of winning have improved from 22,000 to 21,0000 to 1 - adding more than £65m to September’s prize fund.
NS&I has been steadily raising its rates over the past year. The prize rate on the July draw was 3.7%, up from 3.3% previously, and the August prize fund rate jumped from 3.7% to 4%.
