Redeeming Saving Bonds
Seattle Bond owners may redeem savings bonds at most local Seattle financial institutions. The Department of the Treasury does not maintain a listing of local banks that redeem bonds, so please check with the banks in your area. When you present the bonds, you will be asked to establish your identity.
If you are not listed as the owner or co-owner on the bonds that you are redeeming, you will have to establish that you are entitled to redeem the bonds. It is always a good idea to check with your financial institution before presenting the bonds for payment to find out what identification and other documents you may need.
To redeem electronic bonds purchased at TreasuryDirect, log in and follow the on-screen directions. Your checking or savings account will be credited with the redemption amount within one business day of the redemption date.
You may redeem up to $1,000 worth of bonds at one time based on documentary identification alone. If you cannot find a financial institution in your area that will redeem your savings bonds or if you want to redeem more than $1,000 worth of bonds, contact your local Treasury Retail Securities Site that handles savings bond transactions. They can instruct you on how to redeem the bonds and answer any other questions you might have about savings bonds.
