• Safety - Savings bonds are a unique security as safe and secure as the U.S. Treasury.
• Ease of Purchase - It's an easy and affordable way to invest. Bonds cost as little as $25 for a $50 bond.
• Tax Advantages - The interest you earn on your Series EE Bonds is exempt from State and local income taxes. You can defer Federal Income Tax until you redeem the bonds or they stop earning interest after 30 years.
• Financing Education - Savings bonds can help you save for education.
• Retirement - Savings bonds can be an excellent way to help build savings for retirement.
• Improved Market-Based Rates - Series EE bonds now earn 90% of the average yield on 5-year Treasury securities.
• Liquidity - You can cash Series EE bonds any time after one year. There is a 3-month interest penalty if you redeem your bonds before five years.

Please note: The U.S. Treasury has announced that the annual purchase limit for U.S. Savings Bonds will be set at $5,000 per social security number for bonds with January 2008 and later issue dates. For more information, please click here.
