U S TreasuryWelcome to Savings Bonds Direct
Savings Bonds Direct replaces the former FedLine® Web Savings Bonds application. Savings Bonds Direct gives financial institutions and organizations the ability to order Series EE and Series I Savings Bonds electronically using a secure (encrypted) Internet application.  A password and user ID is required to logon to the system and transmit orders. 

How Are Orders Processed in Savings Bonds Direct?
The Treasury Retail Securities Sites, located in Minneapolis and Pittsburgh process savings bond orders submitted through Savings Bonds Direct.  The Treasury Retail Securities Sites initiate payment using a reserve account entry (financial institutions and organizations) or an ACH debit (organizations only).

Getting Started in Savings Bonds Direct
Setup of Treasury Services can be completed quickly and the services can be accessed from any Internet-based PC.  The Treasury Retail Securities Sites provide customer setup, technical support and seminars for Savings Bonds Direct.  To get started, you must first designate a Local Security Administrator (LSA) for this service.  Your organization then completes and submits a Local Security Administrator (LSA) Authorization form to the Treasury Retail Securities Site.  The LSA will set up and manage all user access within your institution or organization.  It is strongly recommended that each institution/organization designate additional LSAs to assist in the management of user security and access rights.

Savings Bonds Seminars
Assisting with savings bond transactions is an essential function of a full-service financial institution. Why? Because millions of Americans purchase U.S. Savings Bonds, the world's most widely-held security, to save for their future. To build your savings bond knowledge and help you better assist your customers, attend one of the 3 1/2 hour introductory seminars in the Savings Bond Seminar Series. The seminar is ideal for personal bankers, tellers, customer service representatives, trainers and all other personnel who process U.S. Savings Bond transactions. Seminar topics will include:

1. Assisting customers with issuing, reissuing and redeeming savings bonds

2. Understanding savings bond interest rates and tax benefits

3. Navigating TreasuryDirect® and other web-based resources

4. Understanding forms and materials needed to process transactions

Savings Bonds
The U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the nation's financial institutions are partners in the success of the popular U.S. Savings Bonds Program. The Treasury's Bureau of Public Debt is responsible for managing the Savings Bonds Program. The Federal Reserve, through its Treasury Retail Securities Sites, plays a key role in the program's success.
