Latest News About Ns&I

Here’s the latest on NS&I based on recent public updates:

• NS&I has been in the headlines due to compensation discussions for bereaved families affected by tracing failures in some accounts. Reports indicate families may be entitled to compensation as government-backed NS&I addresses past issues.[1]
• There have been notable updates to NS&I product rates: in April–May 2026, NS&I issued higher fixed-term British Savings Bonds and Green Savings Bonds with increased rates, and overall interest rates for selected products rose, plus Green Savings Bonds were reintroduced at a 3.82% gross/AER fixed rate for a three-year term.[2]
• NS&I’s annual and broader modernization efforts continue to unfold behind the scenes. The government’s NS&I annual reporting notes ongoing modernization work with partners to replace a multi-decade single-supplier model, aiming to deliver updated mobile and online services and customer support enhancements.[3]
