National Savings and Investments (NS&I) is a UK institution, operating from a number of sites within the UK and abroad. <\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

The powers governing NS&I products come from UK primary and secondary legislation. Only individuals with a UK bank account are eligible to buy NS&I products. In the event of independence, the current rules would prohibit individuals with only a Scottish bank account from buying NS&I products. <\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Any changes to these rules would depend on negotiations between the UK and Scottish governments in the event of independence. Both governments have said that there can be no pre-negotiations on what the terms of independence might be before the referendum takes place.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

The UK government believes that Scotland is better off as part of the UK, and the UK is better off with Scotland in it.<\/strong><\/p>
