The underlying rate is currently 3.3 per cent.
The numbers, or more accurately strings of numbers and letters of varying lengths, are selected by a machine known as ERNIE – Electronic Random Number Indicator Equipment.
You can buy Premium Bonds online at NS&I with a minimum of £25. You can hold a maximum £50,000 of Premium Bonds.
It’s possible to cash in all or part of your Premium Bonds whenever you like online.
