Who We Are: - The U.S. Savings Bond Consultant (USSBC), founded in 1995, is the country's leading authority on computer software and subscription services to store, track, value and manage U.S. Savings Bonds. USSBC is widely recognized as savings bond experts by the financial community and the financial press. As guest panelists on investment radio and TV talk shows, USSBC has been able to help a multitude of savings bond investors by providing information and insight about their investments. The company's trademark is live bond valuations (via a lap top computer) on financial radio shows.

The company's web site, www.savingsbonds.com, went live in 1997. The site offers an extensive bond information center providing an in-depth knowledge of savings bonds, along with online bond purchasing capabilities as well as helping bond owners replace lost or stolen savings bonds. A Quick Statement Report preparation service and phone-in values are also offered on the site. Award winning PC Software for both the Consumer and Financial Professionals markets round out the company's offerings.

In February 2001, USSBC introduced the Bond Guru, an exclusive internet-based on-line valuing and statement service that delivers monthly financial information to the bond investor via e-mail. The Bond Guru's online database tracks millions of dollars in savings bonds every month. For years, individual investors, financial institutions, professional financial planners, investment advisors, and accountants have turned to USSBC as their primary source for savings bond information.

The products and services designed by USSBC have been featured in such prestigious publications as Money Magazine, Kiplingers' Personal Finance, Nations Business, Modern Maturity, and Financial Planning Magazine, along with dozens of local and national newspapers. Featured on Yahoo! Finance in May 2001, savingsbonds.com is revolutionizing the way the nation looks at their U.S. Savings Bonds.

What We Do: - USSBC is a personal financial services company specializing in U.S. Savings Bonds. The most advanced PC software and Internet based, on-line subscription services have been developed to enable savings bond owners to store, value, track and manage all of their savings bonds issued since 1941. The USSBC web site (www.savingsbonds.com) offers an extensive Bond Information Center that covers everything from buying to selling as well as helpful investment hints and strategies. Our goal:  Keep the savings bond owner informed about their own collection (portfolio) of savings bonds. Our motto: You get statements for all your other investments, why should savings bonds be any different... and USSBC will do it for you.

More Than Just Bond Values:
The spreadsheet format available on either the on-line subscription service or the PC software will provide:  how much your bond is worth today, how much interest it has earned through today, when it will next have interest posted, if it is still earning interest, what is the current rate of interest that it is earning, the average lifetime rate of interest, how much longer (in months and years) that it will continue to earn interest and the date when it will no longer earn any interest. Investors can sort any column of data, (as seen on the spreadsheet), into ascending or descending sequence to rank which bonds are performing best (or the worst). With this data, investors can determine which bonds to keep, and which bonds should be cashed-in - and the best time to redeem them, to avoid forfeiting interest earned but not yet posted.
