The Bank sells and redeems U.S. Savings Bonds EE Series and I Series. Bonds are sent directly to the customer from the Treasury Department. They must be held a minimum of one year before they are redeemed. Series EE Bonds cost half of the face value of the bond (i.e. a $50 bond costs $25; a $100 bond costs $50).

Series I Bonds are sold at face value (i.e. you pay $50 for a $50 bond).

As of January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds will no longer be sold at financial insitutions. This action supports Treasury's goal to increase the number of electronic transactions with citizens and businesses.
