What is an NS&I Green Savings Bond?
Where a link is marked *, it is a partner link — we receive commission at no extra cost to you. Links without a * earn us nothing. How we make money.
In short: A fixed-term NS&I bond where proceeds finance green government projects. Rate is set at each issue and locked for the term — typically three years — with penalties for early access.

Green bonds appeal to savers wanting Treasury backing plus environmental purpose. Rates may not always beat best-buy fixed savings from banks.
Each issue has a subscription window and maximum deposit. Money is not protected by FSCS but is 100% HM Treasury backed.
