We've been with Ally for 10 years and never had a single complaint about them. Customer service is available 24/7 and everyone speaks intelligible English.
Just buy them directly from Treasury. The Treasury Direct website won't win any awards for user friendliness, but it's not difficult to set up an account, the search function is very good for finding answers and it's a full service website. And of course there are a zillion resources available on the Internet.

I spoke to Fidelity about buying T-bills or bonds through them and my recollection is that there are two ways to do it, one involves fees and one doesn't. I figured for the same effort it would take to fully understand the difference, I could probably figure out the Treasury Direct site and I was correct about that.

The idea is to balance risk and get a better return than what my bank offer. UST Direct accomplish that with one stop shopping. You get a better rate and don't have to spend ungodly amounts of time chasing rates at unknown banks all over the country.

I am seeing Federal Home Loan Bond CUSIP: 3130AWS50
at 6.08% and its continuously callable but starting 2/18/2025 so essentially a 6.08% until then and then until you are called. It also is not locally taxed so that's helps anyone in that boat over a CD. If you plan on having money put aside thats not a bad option.

What platform are you looking at? This is what I am seeing on Fidelity and looks like you dont need to settle the purchase until 8/18/2023; assuming it will still be offered until then?


6.08% 15 Year bond that pays out semi-annually and callable after 2/18/2025. Making this at the min a 1.5 year CD and as noted that Fed Home Loan Bonds you do not pay Local Taxes on Interest earned.


Attaching the 2 pictures to go along; this does beg to question that there might be 1 or 2 more better offerings but if you can park $10,000 in $5,000 increments its not fixed income earn.

They charge a fee of atleast 0.60% per annum.
Which brings this down to like 4.9% right?
Almost jumped on it until I saw that fine print.

Ally is indeed the better of the two but their's is currently at 4.55% and the highest it got was 4.75% before dropping. Here's hoping the competition will make them push up the amount.

FWIW SoFi has close to this rate (4.5%) for their savings account as long as you have direct deposit linked. They also has referal/sign up bonuses

I think some people might not understand how to buy and how to sell them that keeps them from buying or just traditional mentality of putting funds in CDs.



Have you looked into Agency Bonds? Specifically this week purchase date of 8/9/2023 (CUSIP 3133EPSU0) Depending on how much liquidity you need; these bonds are 15 year bonds that pay 6.29% semi-annually. What I think will happen is that you'll get called on the bonds (its a callable bond) so at best its a 1 year CD and at best a 15 year high fixed income investment.....


Not sure if people put CDs for Kids but i think you can even buy these bonds/bills for them if you wanted to....I already put some for my kids to help avoid all the interest gains for myself.

Just buy money market funds that mandate to invest in government / agency securities. VUSXX at vanguard generates over 5.15% doing this, no reason to mess around with cusips or CDs
