National Savings and Investments is the latest provider to make savings deals more attractive.
Premium Bonds offer the chance of winning tax-free money through monthly prize draws instead of regular interest. It is the UK's most popular savings product, with about 22 million investors.
The effective interest rate of 4.65% is still lower than than leading rate of 5% on easy-access accounts, and even better returns on other deals which lock-in savers' money. The changes mean there will be an estimated 181 Premium Bonds prizes of £50,000 given in September, up from 154 in August.
