Redeeming I-Bonds

By Terry Savage on September 26, 2023 | Chicken Money

I have five I-bonds worth about $3500 each. My bank, 5/3, will only redeem bonds less than $3000 per day. Do all banks have this limit? They told me to mail them to the Treasury . That doesn’t seem safe to me.

Thanks for all your advice.

Yes,that’s how it’s done these days. Banks don’t want to handle paper bonds anymore.
