Saving for Your Future --- Electronically

Beginning September 30, employees no longer will be able to purchase paper savings bonds through payroll deduction.

The U.S. Treasury will stop issuing paper savings bonds through employer-sponsored payroll savings plans. Instead, employees must set up a TreasuryDirect account to participate in the plan. TreasuryDirect offers a voluntary option for payroll savings, using a payroll direct deposit just like any other direct deposit.

Paper savings bonds will remain available for purchase through financial institutions.
