Treasury Bonds

Treasury bonds pay a fixed rate of interest every six months until they mature. They are issued in a term of 30 years.

• Minimum Purchase: $100
• Maximum Purchase (in a single auction): Non-competitive: $5 million (Competitive: 35% of offering amount.)
• Investment Increments: Multiples of $100

The price and yield of a Treasury bond are determined at auction. The price may be greater than, less than, or equal to the face value of the bond.

Where can you purchase Treasury Bonds?

You may purchase Treasury Bonds directly through TreasuryDirect or may be purchased through your broker. Keep in mind bonds bought from your broker will incur a sales charge (commission).

Today Treasury bonds come in electronic form, not paper. Paper bonds can be converted to electronic form if you have paper bonds that you had purchased in the past.
