TreasuryDirect customers have been sent a notice that says starting in March …”Certificate(s) of Indebtedness (C of I) will no longer be available to select as a payment destination in TreasuryDirect. Also, you will not be able to direct funds from your bank account to C of I through BuyDirect”. This was a popular option for meeting direct deposit requirements for bank account bonuses.

Dear TreasuryDirect Customer,
Beginning March 1st, 2026, Certificate(s) of Indebtedness (C of I) will no longer be available to select as a payment destination in TreasuryDirect. Also, you will not be able to direct funds from your bank account to C of I through BuyDirect.
If C of I is already set as your payment destination, there will be no impact to your redemptions and payments, which will continue to be directed to C of I. Also, you will still be able to purchase securities using any C of I you currently hold or redeem C of I to your bank account.
Recommended Action
No action is needed now, but it’s always a good idea to check your bank account information in TreasuryDirect and make sure it is up to date.
