TreasuryDirect customers speak! "It's hard to suggest improvements since it is almost too easy at present. I make an investment and relax, because I know everything will be correct and as I instructed." "What I like is being able to call one number (800-722-2678) and speak directly to an individual who can help me. Nothing takes the place of a personal contact." "I have used it for many years and always found it to be excellent for my extra retirement income. I cannot think of anything that would improve this service."
