Today celebrates another Premium Bonds milestone as it has been 25 years since the £1 million jackpot prize was introduced.

Assistant Director of Retail Experience Lorna Kujawa explains how and why we use customer behaviour to enhance our services and offers as we become an increasingly digital organisation.

Peter Oakley, NS&I Project Assurance Manager, and Patrick Cook, Risk & Assurance Manager, from Atos UK & Ireland, give an overview of how we took the power of Premium Bonds into the quantum realm.

Lorna Kujawa, Assistant Retail Director at NS&I, and Ben Murphy, Director of Digital and Innovation at Atos UK & Ireland, write about how we came together to become one of the first financial organisations in the UK to use voice technology on Alexa.

NS&I has announced that it is increasing interest rates on both its Junior ISA and Direct ISA. Interest rates paid on Junior ISA will be increasing by 75 basis points from 2.50% AER to 3.25% AER. In addition, the interest rate paid on Direct ISA will be increasing by 15 basis points from 0.75% AER to 0.90% AER.

ERNIE has regenerated for the first time in 15 years, and is using quantum technology to generate random numbers. NS&I has also become one of the UK's first financial organisations to create an Alexa Skill, giving Premium Bonds customers another way to check their prizes.

ERNIE has moved into the quantum realm but over £60 million in prizes is still to be paid to winning Premium Bonds holders.

When we reduced the minimum investment into Premium Bonds to £25 at the start of February, we also reduced the minimum monthly standing order, making it even easier for people to get into the savings habit.
