Congratulations! You just bought a security from the U.S. Treasury.

• Securities are generally issued to your account within one business day of the purchase date for savings bonds or within one week of the auction date for Bills, Notes, Bonds, and TIPS.

• The purchase amount is automatically debited from the source of funds you selected. You can set up multiple bank accounts from which to withdraw funds. You may also use the funds in your Zero-Percent C of I to pay for your security purchase.

• The security is placed in your TreasuryDirect account until you decide to redeem it, transfer ownership, sell it, or deliver it to another TreasuryDirect account holder.
