Buying in TreasuryDirect TreasuryDirect is the official United States government application in which you can buy and hold savings bonds and Treasury marketable securities (Notes, Bonds, Bills, TIPS, and FRNs).
To buy, you must have a TreasuryDirect account.
In TreasuryDirect, you may open an account and buy Treasury marketable securities for yourself (an individual registration). With an individual registration, you may also link your account to an account for a child under the age of 18.
Entities, including corporations, estates, partnerships, or trusts, among others, may open a TreasuryDirect account. See About entity accounts.
When you buy through TreasuryDirect, you must hold new Treasury marketable securities for at least 45 calendar days before transferring or selling them. This holding period does not apply when your new security is bought with proceeds from a reinvestment of a maturing security.
