Signed up couple of weeks ago and set up linked bank account with option of notification by e-mail with direct payment into bank account. Won £25 in April premium bond draw, has anybody yet received a PB payment direct into bank account?

    Like you I recently registered for the new NS&I online service, I opted to be notified by email of any future prizes and also chose the option to have any prizes to be paid into my bank account.
    This month I got 1x 25 & 1x 100, but as of yet the money has not been credited to my account.

    Today I did receive 2 emails from NS&I notifying me for each of the 2 prizes that I won in April:
    Dear xxxxxx

    April's PB payment credited to linked bank account today.

    A lot easier than waiting for NS&I to post the warrants and then having to wait for them to clear when banked.

    Sorry to hijack, but can anyone tell me how to do this? I've signed up for online access, but can't find whereabouts on the website you have the option to pay direct to account. Thanks.

    I signed up for this when it was first announced. Nothing happened. So . . . last week I 'phoned them and said that they can't trace my application and to send it again. Hopefully this one will reach them and will be activated as I am not too happy trusting our mail service.
