Alas, now that the battle for ROI residents to buy Premium Bonds was won, the local irish banks have stepped in to foil us yet again. They will NOT draw a sterling draft in favour of another financial institution - Nat Savings UK is a financial institution!!!
Just an update to say I eventually got to buy some premium bonds so thanks to people on here. There is a period of grace where you have to wiat until at least a full calendar month from the date of purchase before they are entered in the draws.
