What Happens If I Cash-In My Bond Before The End of The Investment Term?
Warning - If you cash in your Bond during the investment term, the amount payable is not guaranteed and you could get back less than you have paid in. The table below shows what you might get back for the £25,000 in the example above for the three types of Guaranteed Bonds. It also assumes that there will be no change in interest rates.
