TreasuryDirect

TreasuryDirect is our online system where you can buy and manage:

• Savings bonds
• Treasury bills
• Treasury notes
• Treasury bonds (different from savings bonds)
• Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS)
• Floating Rate Notes

The system is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Individuals and certain entities can open an account in TreasuryDirect. There’s no charge to open an account or to manage your securities. The only money you pay is for the securities you buy—and we don’t add a fee to that.

Minimum purchase amounts:

• Savings bonds: $25
• Other securities: $100

We make payments to the bank account of your choice.

You fund your TreasuryDirect account through your bank account or by payroll deduction.

Securities you buy in TreasuryDirect are electronic, not paper. If you hold savings bonds in paper form, you can convert them to electronic securities in TreasuryDirect.
