Guidance

National Savings and Investments (NS&I) is both a Government department and an Executive Agency of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. According to its website, NS&I is one of the largest savings organisations in the UK, with 26 million customers. Perhaps best known for premium bonds, the organisation also offers a range of other savings and investments to suit different people’s needs. All the products offer 100% security because NS&I is backed by HM Treasury. This means it is attractive for individuals wishing to shelter cash for a relatively short time (eg the proceeds of a house sale prior to a new purchase) to save with NS&I as their money is protected.
