Now you can transfer money abroad without paying a fee with NS&I's brand new international payments service. This secure service allows you to send money from eligible NS&I accounts and investments directly to your nominated international bank account(s). For example, if you're a Premium Bonds customer based overseas, you can enjoy fuss-free prize payments. That's because you'll no longer have to wait for postal warrants to arrive in sterling, or arrange for them to be converted.

Or in any of the following countries: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore or Israel. Once you've registered you'll be able to make payments online or by phone from NS&I directly into your nominated international bank account(s).
