Premium Bonds changes
Savers can now hold up to £50,000 of Premium Bonds, instead of the previous maximum of £40,000.
However, if you haven't won a prize for some time, or ever, it's worth seeing how much interest you could earn on your money elsewhere. For example, there's between 2%-5% interest on offer from various current accounts with the bonus of instant access to your cash.
