IN BRIEF:
- ‘Pay by bank account’ will be offered to NS&I’s online customers as an option for making additional deposits
- Customers will be securely transferred to Ecospend where they are able to select the bank they wish to make their payment from
- Easy-access variable rate accounts, including Premium Bonds, Direct Saver, Direct ISA, Income Bonds and Junior ISA, will be able to top-up online savings using Open Banking
What does this mean?
