 Banks & Financial Institutions
Your local bank, credit union, or financial
institution should be able
to sell you a Series EE or Series I Bond (Series E Bonds are no longer issued).
Always bring your Social Security Number, or the Social Security Number of the person you
are buying it for (if it is a gift). Be careful, changing Social Security Numbers
later can create a taxable event.

sell you a US Savings Bond
As banks merge, fewer & fewer banks are offering
savings bond services.

However, you can no longer walk into a branch. Contact the
Federal Reserve Branch that services your area and get the details.
SavingsBonds.com Fact: Although it is best to
buy a bond late in the month, be certain that the bank does not require any clearing time
if you are paying by check. This could change the issue date on your bond (it may
push back the month and year of the issue date printed on the bond to the next month). |
