    I bought at the end of Nov using a debit card - instant notification and bond numbers.  i am sure £20K with a debit card should not be a problem. And the added bonus of 0.125% in Tesco points.

    How did you transfer the money from Halifax?
    By debit card, have an ARN number from Halifax which NS&I can’t trace.

    So if I can summarise- you spent £14,000 using your debit card on the NS&I site to buy premium bonds and there is no trace of the purchase

    This is probably a very silly question but I have to ask it - are you sure you were on the NS&I site and not some scam site pretending to be them?

    The OP says:
    Bank states they have the money so I can’t even dispute it.
    I took that to mean that the £14,000 has not left the account.

    The money has left my bank account  over a week ago so according to Halifax NS&I have it.

    That did cross my mind to but definitely right website as it comes up on my Halifax transaction and the Halifax confirm it is the correct site.
