Nationwide Start To Save Account

1882

That 0.16% extra is 8p per year for each £50 in the account for the full year so the the gain in interest isn't much. Personally I'm happy to risk a paltry amount for the hope of winning £100.

I wondered why I bothered with this savings account but to my amazement I've also won a £100 in the October draw. Yippee.

Just for the 1% interest this account is acceptable. 
The odds of winning the £100 are actually quite good for an extra bonus. 

Can't see it lasting with the BoE rate as it is. Expect it to be pulled or interest rate dropping shortly.

I live in Northern Ireland and so Nationwide say I can’t open this account (something to do with our antiquated gambling laws). But it got me wondering how I can invest in premium bonds, which work on the same principle. Not sure if anyone knows the answer?

I was thinking of also having a go at the Members Bond as well but the interest rate is only .5% fixed for 18 months.
You stand to win ten grand though.
