The National Savings Movement first started in 1916 to encourage the British people to 'save and prosper'.

"Savings groups were formed in factories, shops, clubs, etc. and an appointed collector did the rounds each week to collect the savings and issue certificates."

DEFENCE BONDS
Defence Bonds can be bought in multiples of £5, up to a limit of £1,000, at the rate of £5 for £5 Bonds. Interest 3 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly on 1st May and 1st November. The Bonds are repayable seven years from date of purchase at £101 per £100 Bonds, or at par [face value] on six months' notice at any time. (The notice will be waived in a case of urgent need subject to an adjustment of interest).

POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK Deposits up to £500 in a year. Interest 2½ per cent. per annum. Any increase in the money deposited in the Post Office Savings Bank will be serving the same national purpose as money invested in Savings Certificates or Defence Bonds, particularly if the money is not withdrawn too quickly.
