Can I purchase Treasury securities as gifts?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can purchase Treasury securities as gifts through TreasuryDirect.gov. It offers the option of buying securities in paperless form and electronically gifting them to a recipient. This is done by setting up a special registration called a "gift account." Once the gift account is established, you can purchase Treasury bills, notes, or bonds and assign them to the recipient's gift account. The recipient will receive an email notification about the gift and can then access and manage the gifted securities online. TreasuryDirect also offers the flexibility to transfer the gifted securities to the recipient's regular TreasuryDirect account at a later date, if desired. Buying Treasury securities as gifts through TreasuryDirect.gov provides a convenient and secure way to invest and share the benefits of these government-backed investments.
