As of 1st December 2026, customers registered for Ireland State Savings Online who purchase Prize Bonds will receive paperless confirmation only.
 
Currently, customers registered for our online service receive online notification of any Prize Bond purchase and a Prize Bond certificate by post. 
 
Once Prize Bond numbers are allocated, the customer receives an email with instructions to log in to their online account, where their Prize Bond details can be viewed as part of their holdings. These details contain the same information provided on the paper certificate.
 
If you are currently registered for Ireland State Savings Online, you will continue to receive online confirmation of Prize Bond purchases and from the above date you will not receive paper confirmation.
 
If you are not currently registered for Ireland State Savings Online you will find more information about our online service here including how to register.
 
This is the first step in our wider paper reduction initiative across Ireland State Savings, with similar changes for other products to follow. We will continue to keep customers updated as these improvements are introduced.
