Get FS Form 5179. Legacy Treasury Direct Security Transfer Request 2020-2023

Savings Bond purchases are generally issued to your TreasuryDirect account within one business day of the purchase date. If you select a non-business day as your purchase date, we will change it to the next available business day.

You may transfer securities to a broker/dealer account by taking the following steps: Log into your primary TreasuryDirect® account. Click the ManageDirect tab at the top of the page. Under the heading Manage My Securities, click "Transfer securities".

Go to your TreasuryDirect account. Choose the Manage Direct tab. Identify the security or securities you want to transfer. Choose External Transfer.

Log into your primary TreasuryDirect® account. Click the ManageDirect tab at the top of the page. Under the heading Manage My Securities, click "Transfer securities". On the Transfer page, choose the button beside the security type you want to transfer and click "Submit".

Unlike Savings Bonds, Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, and FRNs are transferable, so you can buy or sell them in the secondary market. You can buy Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, TIPS, and FRNs for a minimum of $100, and you can buy savings Bonds for as little as $25.

When you cash your bonds online, the cash generally transfers to your checking or savings account within two business days of the request.

There should be a signature page you need to sign, but again do not sign the back of your bond(s). Mail the document along with the unsigned bond(s) to the Treasury Department at the address below and wait for three-to-four weeks for the conversion to take place.

Securities are generally issued to your account within two business days of the purchase date for savings bonds or within one week of the auction date for Bills, Notes, Bonds, FRNs, and TIPS. The purchase amount is automatically debited from the source of funds you selected.
