Treasury Ends Over the Counter Sales of Paper U.S. Savings Bonds

As of January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds will no longer be sold at financial institutions.  This action supports the U.S. Department of the Treasury's goal to increase the number of electronic transactions with citizens and businesses.  But savings bonds are not going away.  Electronic savings bonds in Series EE and I will remain available through purchase in TreasuryDirect®, a secure, web-based system.  Through TreasuryDirect, investors have an easy and convenient way to purchase and manage their bonds free of charge.  Investors will no longer have to worry about misplacing, losing, or storing paper savings bonds.

*Convert Series EE and I paper savings bonds to electronic through the SmartExchange® feature.

*Purchase electronic savings bonds as a gift.

Those currently holding paper savings bonds can continue to redeem them at financial institutions.

 NOTICE OF CHANGES IN TEMPORARY FDIC INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012.  This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules. 
The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest.  It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs").  It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts and money-market deposit accounts.
For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit www.fdic.gov.
