If you have any savings with NS&I’s premium bonds the way you receive any prizes could be changing.
From December 2020, NS&I are going paperless for the way they pay out their prizes. In a phased approach, by March 2021 NS&I will stop price payments by warrant (similar to a cheque).

This is the important section, if your prizes are delivered through the post, you will need to let NS&I know your bank details so that you can carry on receiving your prizes. Don’t worry if you don’t update NS&I on your bank details before December, they will hold onto your prizes until you provide them with your bank details.
