Premium Bonds Cashing In

Options
I cashed in some of my Premium Bonds today by sending them off along with the cashing in form.

Could someone tell me how long they take to go into a bank account please. It says up to 8 working days on the form but just wondered if anyone had already cashed them in and if its sooner then this.

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I ticked the box that said i didn't want to be entered into the next draw. It says within 8 working days paid into bank account but was hoping it would be sooner.

    It may well be sooner. The 8 working days are to cover themselves in case there's a hitch in the system. I've never waited as long as that.

    Don't know where you live but don't forget the weather means it may also be reliant on the postbox being emptied
