savings

The British have traditionally kept their savings with a *building society or in a *Post Office savings account (now called *National Savings); the latter is money on loan to the government, at fixed rates of interest in a variety of schemes, which can be deposited or withdrawn at any post office or high-street bank. A savings scheme in the form of a lottery was introduced in 1956 as *premium bonds.
