Better things to do?
Buying your Treasury bill, note, or bond is a snap with
Pay Direct.
Convenient? Yes! You don't have to go to the bank or write a check.
If you're a TreasuryDirect
customer, you already have direct
deposit, and Pay Direct operates the
same, safe way -- but in reverse. Select it
on your next tender, and we'll electronically collect the security's
purchase price from your
bank account.
Of course, if you make your purchase through
Buy Direct®,
our convenient Internet or phone option, you automatically pay through
Pay Direct.
Plus, by allowing us to collect the exact purchase price, you ensure
you won't have
to wait for a discount payment, and you avoid the possibility of being
billed for a premium or
accrued interest.
Best of all, we offer Pay Direct for free!
As mentioned before, to use Buy Direct you must
pay through Pay Direct. If you're an existing
TreasuryDirect customer who hasn't
used Buy Direct but wants to use it now, go ahead! When you
opened your TreasuryDirect account, you gave us all the banking
information we need to allow you to use Pay Direct.
Whether you purchase via phone, Internet, or tender, we'll send you
a Statement of Account shortly
after we've issued the security.
Pay Direct ®
The Pay Direct Advantage
With Pay Direct, your money stays in your account until the day
we issue the
security. Because you don't have to mail a check in
early, you can earn interest
right up to the last minute.
Who Can Use Pay Direct?
Only existing TreasuryDirect customers may use Pay
Direct; so if you haven't opened an account yet and you want to
buy a security now, you'll
have to pay by other means this time.
Next time, you can use Pay Direct.
The Pay Direct Process
If you're already a TreasuryDirect customer, paying through
Pay Direct is simple:
Other Payment Options

or any of the means shown above for bills. NOTE: We won't
accept credit
cards or two-party checks for any security.
