Hi,do you mean the income bond?0

Premium bonds remain relatively competitive for an easy access type account . so probably best left where they are .
If you mean the Income bonds which have dropped to near zero , then maybe change them to Premium Bonds.

It hasn't dropped yet....?0

If you mean premium bonds they I would leave the money there - the interest rate has not dropped yet but even when it does it will be 1% (not guaranteed of course) and I would then still leave it there.
If you mean income bonds then these are dropping to nearly zero and I would move the £5000 to premium bonds.0 -
There really isnt much point moving money around for the difference of 20 quid over the course of a year.
People get caught up on opening 10 different accounts and moving money around and trying to make the most of things but for what you gain youd just be better drinking a bottle of beer less a month.
1.0% moving to get 1.2% or whatever is a waste of time especially if its £5000.
Leave it where it is. The time and effort it takes to chop and change is time spend and accounts for something. What price do you put on your time?1 -

Very similar to the people who when changing holiday money are happy to drive 20miles to a place offering a slightly better rate only to realise what they spend in time and petrol basically cancelled out there benefit.3 -
