This is Money Podcast · Bumper rate rise for Premium Bonds - are they now a no-brainer? · 21 Aug 2026 podcast

So of course, with that average luck, you probably aren't going to win a prize. matched

Then you only have to glance through the winners' tables and see how many people have maxed out a 50 grand. matched

That 50 grand limit by the way has been around for 11 years. matched

You go through half of the big prizes tend to be taken by those that have maximum amounts or almost a maximum amount of 50,000 pounds. matched

There's 1.4 million uh savers now with maxed out NSNI premium matched

Bond uh accounts. matched

That's a lot of people holding the maximum amount of premium bonds. matched

The average that people hold is five and a half grand. matched

Um I hold in and around that much, uh, roughly. matched

Um and you're right, I had a couple of years of of no returns. matched

Um and that came actually at a time when the rate was even better than it is now. matched

Over the course of the last year, I've had a return of three point eight seven percent. matched

So I've actually beaten the the premium bonds rate. matched

Which was three point three percent uh earlier in the year, now three point eight percent, growing up to four point three five percent. matched
