Nutmeg, back in March when you put in £1k and guarantee £100 at the end of June. But into a kind of index fund so lost £2 from the £1k. Meaning made £98 return for 3months.

Some reason there is £1 balance in Nutmeg but I can’t withdraw it lol
You probably have to close the account to get that last bit out

Yeah it is odd - mine has 6 quid left in it. Rounding errors I guess.

You eventually get it back but can take around three months. The amount will creep up as divi etc owed to you comes in.

Need to check mine but there was a partial withdrawal option and a withdraw everything and close the fund option.

It looks like it, no idea of the odds though vs Premium bonds but the cost is lower per entry, £100 minimum but you get 10 entries with that.

You don’t want to open an SIPP instead? From what I gather, under like £10k or like £20k? in PB the odds are low.
Reason is ill be spending it once I've saved enough. So no fixes are appropriate.
At least there's a chance to win something.

You need to log in via a computer, not the app....yeah we know....awkward and annoying.
Its all OK boys, they are putting more pressure on the banks now. They will definitely buckle any time soon. We all know that all you have to do to bring a bank in line is ask a few times. They are legendarily keen on making less money and giving customers the best deals to their own detriment.
Banks warned over 'weak excuses' for savings rates
The financial regulator also says it will look closely at close to zero interest rates for loyal savers.
