Our history
The NS&I story began in 1861, when the Government established the Post Office Savings Bank. The bank’s aims were to provide a secure place for people to save, and a source of funds for public borrowing. These remain our core objectives today.
Our awards
As well as monitoring our operational performance in terms of timeliness, accuracy and online availability, NS&I is keen to benchmark service levels against independent standards.

Our operational partners
NS&I is in the process of transforming its business, moving from a single provider to a multi-partner model. Once the transformation is completed, IBM will be delivering customer-facing digital channels, Sopra Steria will be delivering customer contact centre and operations, and Atos will continue to deliver core banking, payments & reporting, along with our business-to-business services.
Working together, our partners are helping NS&I to create a modern, accessible and sustainable business that can deliver the right products and services for customers, the flexibility and resilience to embrace the opportunities of the future, and, ultimately, to continue to raise funding for the Government to support vital public services.
The transformation programme will also allow NS&I to provide more choice and flexibility for its customers, along with more support for those who need it.
NS&I Government Payment Services
NS&I Government Payment Services transforms public sector payments. Our digital payment platform and processes enable the efficient delivery of citizen-centred transactions.
