Has anyone heard of such a thing as a Capital Bond?

Can you explain what it is?

Someone mentioned them to me but I've never heard of them.

They are a form of gift voucher that companies often give away as incentives for staff. You can use them in HMV, Boots, Argos and Debenhams to name a few.

As you can see Capital bond can be a marketing name used by a number of providers for different things. I believe there are a couple more examples that could be given by different providers.

Each case means something different and could range from a deposit based bond, life fund investment bond, guaranteed equity bond, NS&I and vouchers
