    @dabe1971: Do you have an NS&I Income Bond?
    With £500 in it?
    What are the trailing letters of the transaction description?

    Bingo ! Of course, it's the "interest" on the NS&I bond. Makes perfect sense now as the transaction description ends 'NSIB'. I forgot they have to pay that into the nominated account don't they. I opened one just before they announced the interest slash. It's only got £500 in as I hadn't transferred my remaining Marcus balance yet, and I won't be now ! Thanks a lot for the suggestion & help everyone.

    The only thing you need to explain is why you haven't clicked "Thanks". ... :o

    Apologies. I did to Primrose and Blue Violet but clearly the one to yours didn't register. Now rectified.

    Max £50,000 saving - Invested in August so was eligible for my first draw in October. I got the following:
    • 2 x £25
    • 1 x £500
    Very happy with that start!

    How can you have two holdings of premium binds, or is this a batch held by a  wife or partner?

    Myself & wife have gradually increased holdings to £25k each over past 4 months. I received 3x£25 last month & a total of 6 wins = £175 overall. My wife feeling a bit left out with nothing for past 3 months & 1 win in total. But seems ok return compared to savings account, with a little bit of extra anticipation & excitement each month.

    First month for me, won 5 lots of £25.00. So, a lucky start I guess! Fingers crossed it continues....
    What is the holding?
