NS&I has relaunched its Green Savings Bonds
NS&I brings back popular bonds with new rate confirmed
NS&I has relaunched its Green Savings Bonds with an improved rate. Originally launched in 2021, Green Savings Bonds enable savers to support funding for green government initiatives across the UK.
The minimum deposit for Green Savings Bonds is £100, with a maximum threshold of £100,000 per individual for each issue. The new Issue offers 3.82% gross/AER fixed-rate over a three-year fixed term. Green Savings Bonds are distinct from NS&I’s Net Financing target established by HM Treasury annually. The previous Issue of Green Savings Bonds was withdrawn from general sale on 26 November 2025, reports Birmingham Live.
The minimum deposit for Green Savings Bonds is £100, with a maximum threshold of £100,000 per individual for each Issue. Investors must be aged 16 or over to purchase the Bonds. The entire sum deposited will be held for three years and cannot be accessed during this period. Green Savings Bonds are utilised alongside gilts to generate funds for green projects as part of the UK Government Green Financing Framework, which was revised in November 2025 to incorporate nuclear energy projects.
The minimum deposit is £100, with a maximum threshold of £100,000 per individual per Issue. Investors in earlier Issues can invest in subsequent Issues. Deposits can be made individually or jointly, NS&I has confirmed. Customers must possess a UK bank account that can receive BACS payments. The fixed rate is guaranteed for the entire term. Interest accrues daily, is added annually on the investment’s anniversary and paid upon maturity
Interest is earned without any tax being deducted at source. Interest is taxable at maturity and will count towards the customer’s Personal Savings Allowance and may need to be declared. NS&I, which also runs Premium Bonds, advises customers who are worried about how this might impact them should consider contacting HMRC or seeking professional advice.
