Since March 2020, <del class="ministerial">nearly half a million</del> <ins class="ministerial">more than 750,000 </ins>customers have switched from receiving paper warrants (cheques) to having their prizes paid directly into their bank account or automatically reinvested.

It will make managing Premium Bonds prize distribution quicker, more cost-effective and have a much lower environmental impact.</p><p>Paying prizes directly to the customers bank account also reduces the proportion of Premium Bonds prizes from going unclaimed.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 15/12/2020 14:19:06 question first ministerially corrected 04/01/2021 13:26:49 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen previous answer version 69294 answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
