What is TreasuryDirect?

Asked a year ago
TreasuryDirect is a secure online platform operated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, offering individuals the opportunity to purchase, manage, and redeem U.S. Treasury securities directly from the government. These securities include Treasury bills, notes, bonds, and savings bonds, which are important instruments in financing the federal government's borrowing needs. TreasuryDirect eliminates the need for a traditional intermediary like a bank or broker, allowing investors to access Treasury securities directly, conveniently, and electronically. Opening an account is free, and users can invest as little as $25. Additionally, TreasuryDirect provides various features such as automatic reinvestment, interest payments, and convenient access to account information and transactions. It offers an accessible and user-friendly platform for individuals to invest in some of the most secure and trusted financial assets available, directly from the source.
