SAVINGS BONDS

Savings Bonds

As of January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds are no longer sold at financial institutions.  This action supports Treasury’s goal to increase the number of electronic transactions with citizens and businesses. See the press release, the toolkit for financial institutions and the frequently asked questions.

U.S. Savings Bonds are sold throughout the country over the Internet and through payroll savings plans for electronic savings bonds in TreasuryDirect.

Bond Redemptions

Banks and credit unions can redeem savings bonds over-the-counter. Find out more about redeeming savings bonds.

Payroll Savings

The Payroll Savings Plan allows employees to save money by investing in savings bonds regularly through payroll direct deposit. Employers can offer electronic securities to their employees through Electronic Payroll Savings with TreasuryDirect.

Note: Treasury phased out the issuance of paper savings bonds through traditional employer-sponsored payroll savings plans as of January 1, 2011. See our FAQ.
