Anyone know how long it takes to sell premium bonds?

Can you just cash them in over the counter in post office and get a direct payment into bank account? or does it take time to process

You get a form from the post office, and fill it in to send it to the National savings.

They will return a cheque to you in less than 14 days.

Too risky to cash them in at the post office, anyone could nick them then cash them in couldn't they? Remember, you can hold up to 30,000

Yes, I have to pay for my holiday on 11th July, but will be withdrawing premium bonds on 2nd july, so I get the extra chance on july 1st.
