I can't even fathom why anyone would want the inconvenience of a cheque when the money can 'magically' appear in a current account of your choice. On top of it, the use of paper, ink, production and transport is an unnecessary waste of precious resources and contributes to pollution.3

https://www.nsandi.com/get-to-know-us/quicker-prizesYou can have prizes paid straight to your bank account (or NS&I Direct Saver) or reinvested into more Bonds, giving you even more chances to win. Choose either of these options and we’ll let you know by text or email if you win.
Edit: that page does also hint at additional (unspecified) options:Don’t have an email address or a UK mobile phone?
Please call us and we can discuss an alternative arrangement for you.

Eh, you mean there's no longer an option to have my prizes delivered in Guineas by carrier pigeon??
I blame the demise of the gold standard. Everything went to pot after that...2 -
