If you selected more than one savings bond for transfer, this page displays details of those securities. If you select multiple securities to transfer in one transaction, the full amount of those securities must be transferred to a single recipient and will be applied to the recipient's annual purchase limitation in the year the securities are delivered to the recipient’s account. You may purchase up to $10,000 of each security type - EE or I Bonds - per person (person is either an individual or an entity) each calendar year.
For some transfers, a page will display with a link to a paper form needed to complete your transaction. In this case, you must complete and mail the paper form according to its instructions. Your requested transfer will not be processed until we receive and approve your form.

Learn More About Purchase Limitations
Savings Bonds
You may purchase up to $10,000 each of electronic EE and I Savings Bonds, per person (individual or entity), each calendar year. Purchases of any other Treasury securities do not alter the purchase limits for electronic EE and I Savings Bonds. The minimum purchase amount for electronic EE and I Savings Bonds is $25, increasing with penny increments not to exceed $10,000. The purchase amount of the savings bonds you transfer, deliver as gifts, or de-link to another TreasuryDirect account holder is applied to the recipient's annual purchase limit for the year the bonds are delivered to the recipient’s account. (Note: Gift delivery and de-linking are not available in entity accounts.)
Zero-Percent Certificate of Indebtedness (Zero-Percent C of I or C of I)
There's no limit to the total amount you may hold in your C of I – but remember, this type of security does not earn any interest. Your C of I security is not included in the savings bond or Treasury marketable security purchase limitation. When you choose to withdraw funds from a designated bank account to purchase a C of I, the maximum purchase amount is $1,000 per transaction.
Payroll Zero-Percent Certificate of Indebtedness (Payroll C of I)
There's no limit to the total amount you may hold in your Payroll C of I (used to fund the Payroll Savings Plan) – but this type of security does not earn any interest. Your Payroll C of I security is not included in the savings bond or Treasury marketable security purchase limitation.

The minimum purchase amount is $100 with multiples sold in the same increment. The purchase limit of $10 million does not apply to securities issued through reinvestment.
