What is a Premyo Bond?
Premyo Bonds are government-issued investments that combine fixed quarterly interest with the chance to win cash and non-cash raffle prizes. They are designed to be affordable, low-risk, and accessible to Filipinos, including those abroad.
Premyo Bonds include a raffle system with:
- Grand Prize: ₱1,000,000 + extra rewards
- Major Prizes: ₱100,000 (10 winners)
- Minor Prizes: ₱20,000 (50 winners)
- Special Prizes for small investors (₱500–₱20,000 investment): ₱50,000 (20 winners per quarter)
Each ₱500 investment = 1 Electronic Rewards Number (ERN), which equals 1 raffle entry.
