LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Analysts have warned that millions of pounds in Premium Bonds prizes remain unclaimed due to Britons not checking their existing bonds.
Jessica Willock, a personal finance expert at Confused.com, said: “Premium Bonds are a popular way to save, but it can be easy to forget about them once they’re set up.
“That’s why it’s not surprising to hear that over £100 million in prizes is currently unclaimed. With millions of people holding bonds, there’s a good chance some have money waiting for them and don’t even realise it.
“If you’ve ever bought Premium Bonds, it’s worth taking a moment to check in on them. All you need is your NS&I holder’s number or account number, and you can use their prize checker app or website to see if you have any winnings. If you’re not sure of your details, you can speak to the NS&I who can help you recover them.”
