NS&I query

Was about to open an account and am a bit confused over the attached. So where does the interest payment go? I assumed it just topped up?

    Interest is paid to your nominated account on 5th of each month. The idea of the Income Bond is that you use the interest as extra monthly income.
  • Thought as much. Are there any good ones that retain the interest?

    Various banks do accounts which pay around 1% interest (compounded) including Marcus and Virgin.  I don't think you can do any better unless you lock the money away or go for the NS&I account.
