About this product
British Savings Bonds are issues of NS&I Guaranteed Growth Bonds and Guaranteed Income Bonds. Choose growth at maturity or monthly income, with an investment from £500 to £1 million per person in each issue. New investments must normally be held until the chosen term ends, with a 30-day cancellation period. Check the current issues, rates and full terms before investing.

Regulation and protection
NS&I is backed by HM Treasury, which guarantees 100% of money saved with NS&I. This government backing is distinct from the FSCS deposit-protection limit that applies to banks and building societies.
