Save for the future

U.S. Savings Bonds offer competitive rates that compare favorably with other forms of saving. Interest accrues monthly and compounds semiannually. The United States backs savings bonds with its full faith and credit. Your paper bonds are registered so Treasury can replace them if they're lost or stolen. Bonds bought electronically through TreasuryDirect are safely maintained in your account with the U.S. Treasury.

Series I or Series EE bonds are a great way to save for the future:

• Series I Bonds are issued at face value starting at $50*
• Series EE Bonds are issued at a 50% discount from face value, starting at $25*
• Earn interest up to 30 years
• Redeem any time after 12 months**
• Exempt from state and local income taxes

If you are wanting to redeem your Series I or Series EE bonds, you can do it electronically through www.treasurydirect.gov or stop by any Sound branch. The cash value will be deposited into your account.

*Applies to paper bond certificates only
**3 month loss of interest if redeemed before 5 years.
