Savings bonds are a type of government-issued security that can be purchased by individuals to save for future financial goals. They are considered a low-risk investment, and they offer a fixed rate of return over a set period of time.
The value of a savings bond can be checked in a few different ways. One way is to visit the TreasuryDirect website and enter the bond’s serial number. Another way is to call the Treasury Department at 1-800-722-2663.
