How much you can invest

• Each Bond you buy must be at least £100. You can invest up to a total of
£100,000 per person in any one Issue. You can buy as many Bonds as you
like, up to this investment limit.
Joint investments
Half of the investment in Green Savings Bonds held jointly between two people
counts towards each individual investor’s personal limit.
Inherited Bonds
If you inherit a Green Savings Bond you can transfer it into your name even if it
takes you over the investment limit for that Issue. However, you won’t be able
to buy any more Bonds of the same Issue.

No withdrawals until maturity

A Green Savings Bond is a fixed-term investment and has to be held for the full
term. This means that you won’t be able to reinvest or withdraw your money
until it matures.

What happens at maturity?
We’ll contact you to let you know your options at least 30 days before your
Bond matures. We will always include the option to cash in your Bond to
get your money back together with interest. Your other options will normally
be to:
• reinvest your money in a new Bond of the same term (which will normally
happen automatically if you don’t give us different instructions); or
• reinvest your money in a new Bond of a different term.
We may decide to stop offering Green Savings Bonds but we’ll let you know if
we do this.
Joint investments
Either of you can give us instructions independently about what to do when your
Bond matures. If we receive more than one set of instructions, we will accept
the latest instructions we receive before the deadline we give. However, we
won’t do this if you tell us of a dispute between you (see ‘General terms – Joint
accounts: Disputes’).
