At least that\u2019s what we\u2019ve been taught to believe, right? In a pre- tax-free savings and pre-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/banking\/what-is-the-fscs\">FSCS<\/a> world, with low savings interest rates, they might have made a lot more sense. But now it\u2019s harder to see their merits. <\/p><p>But the good news is that just like with regular savings, you can take your money out of Premium Bonds at any time. Here\u2019s how you do it.<\/p><h3>Cash in Premium Bonds online or by phone<\/h3><p>The easiest way to cash in Premium Bonds is to call or use the online form. For both of these options you\u2019ll already need to be registered with the NS&amp;I online or phone service, and have your NS&amp;I holder\u2019s number and password to hand. Then, either call 08085 007 007 or go to the NS&amp;I site and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsandi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">log in to your online account<\/a>. Once the process is completed, the value of the Premium Bonds you\u2019ve cashed in will be transferred into the bank account that you nominated when you registered.<\/p><h3>Cash in Premium Bonds by post<\/h3><p>If you\u2019re not registered for the NS&amp;I online or phone service (so don\u2019t have login details and a password) <em>or<\/em> if you want to cash in specific premium bond numbers, then you\u2019ll have to print out and fill in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsandi.com\/files\/asset\/pdf\/premium-bonds-cash-in-form.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">\u201ccash in Premium Bonds\u201d form on the NS&amp;I website<\/a>. You then post it to NS&amp;I, Sunderland, SR43 2SB. (Note that there is also an <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.nsandi.com\/gateway\/online-forms\/index#\/form\/withdraw-premium-bonds-myself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online form<\/a> for cashing in only some of your Premium Bond numbers.)<\/p><p>When filling in the form you\u2019ll need your NS&amp;I number. You\u2019ll have to select the amount of Premium Bonds you would like to cash in (all of them or some of them \u2013 and in that case, how much). If you\u2019re only cashing in some of your Premium Bonds, then you\u2019ll need to enter the specific serial numbers of those bonds. If you don\u2019t mind which ones you cash in, you can tick \u201cno\u201d to that question and NS&amp;I will cash in your oldest Premium Bonds first.<\/p><h4>Choose how to receive the cash from your Premium Bonds (if applying by post)<\/h4><p>Section 6 of the above form gives you two options of how to cash in your Premium Bonds:<\/p><ul><li>To a nominated bank account. Here, you\u2019ll need to fill in the details of the current account that you would like to have the value of the bonds paid directly into.<\/li><li>By warrant. This option means that you will be sent the funds by cheque in the post. (NS&amp;I had previously indicated that it would be phasing out cheque payments by March 2021, but it since has reversed this decision, so you can still opt to receive your payment by cheque.)<\/li><\/ul><p>NS&amp;I usually takes around 8 days to process a \u201ccash in\u201d form, so it will take at least 8 days plus postage delivery time before a cheque reaches you. If you have sent in the form but haven\u2019t received anything from NS&amp;I in the post after that time, contact them by calling 08085 007 007 Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm or on weekends from 8am to 6pm. NS&amp;I\u2019s virtual assistant is available 24\/7. <\/p><div class=\"newsletter-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup sticky-mode theme-green\" data-accountcreateflow=\"newsletter\" data-displaydelay=\"0\" data-showformembers=\"1\">\n    <div class=\"signup-grid\">\n                                <div class=\"signup-image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/george4.png\" alt=\"newsletter-image\" class=\"signup-image-img\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/george4.png?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/george4.png?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/george4.png?fit=600 600w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/george4.png?fit=900 900w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/george4.png?fit=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\">\n            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"signup-content\">\n                <div class=\"signup-content-left\">\n                    <h2 class=\"signup-header\">Be first to know about new deals<\/h2>\n                                        <p class=\"signup-text\">Sign up to receive the latest deals, tips and a chance to <strong>win \u00a3400!<\/strong> (T&amp;Cs)\n                                            <\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"signup-content-right\">\n                    <div class=\"form\">\n                        <div class=\"email-group \">\n                            <label for=\"email-default\" class=\"sr-only\">Email address:<\/label>\n                            <input class=\"email-input\" id=\"email-default\" type=\"email\" placeholder=\"Enter your email\" name=\"email\" data-prefill=\"me.notes.createAccountEmail\">\n                            <button class=\"email-btn\">\n                                <span class=\"btn-text\">Sign up<\/span>\n                                <span class=\"loading-spinner\"><\/span>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <p class=\"error-msg\"><span class=\"error-msg-text\">Error placeholder<\/span> <span class=\"error-msg-sign-in\"> Click <a class=\"error-msg-sign-in-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/user-profile\/sign-in?returnTo=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.finder.com%2Fuk%2Fuk%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F94373\">here<\/a> to sign in<\/span><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"links\">\n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/finder.com\/uk\/about-us\/competition-winners\">Winners<\/a> |                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/about-us\/example-email#savings\">Emails<\/a> |                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/communication-preferences\">Unsubscribe<\/a> |                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/privacy-policy\">Privacy<\/a>                                             <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                <div class=\"hide-btn\">\n            Hide\n            <svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--xsmall has-margin-top-xxsmall\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\"><\/use>\n            <\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>What to do after you\u2019ve cashed in your Premium Bonds<\/h3><p>That is totally up to you.
