Green Savings Bonds have been put back on sale with immediate effect. The new Issue pays 3.82% gross/AER fixed-rate over a three-year fixed term.
Launched in 2021, Green Savings Bonds enable savers to help fund green government projects across the UK. Green Savings Bonds are separate to NS&I’s Net Financing target set by HM Treasury each year. The previous Issue of Green Savings Bonds was removed from general sale on 26 November 2025.
The minimum investment in Green Savings Bonds is £100, with a maximum limit of £100,000 per person for each Issue. Investors need to be aged 16 or over to purchase the Bonds. The full amount deposited will be held for three years and cannot be withdrawn during this time.
Green Savings Bonds are used alongside gilts to raise funds for green projects as part of the UK Government Green Financing Framework, which was updated in November 2025 to include nuclear energy projects.
