Learn More About Payroll Zero-Percent Certificate of Indebtedness
The Payroll Zero-Percent Certificate of Indebtedness (Payroll C of I) is a Treasury security that does not earn any interest. It was previously intended to be used as a source of funds for purchasing Series EE and Series I Savings Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan in TreasuryDirect, which will be discontinued on January 31, 2025.
For more information about this, see Learn more about the Payroll Savings Plan and read our FAQs.
The incoming credits from your payroll office will result in the purchase of a Payroll C of I within your TreasuryDirect account. Each time your Payroll C of I balance reaches your designated purchase amount, a savings bond will be issued. (For example, if your payroll allotment/direct deposit is $10 each pay period, and you have chosen a purchase amount of $25, after your third allotment/direct deposit is received, a $25 savings bond will be purchased from your Payroll C of I and the remaining balance will be $5 until the next allotment/direct deposit is received.)
You may redeem all or part of your Payroll C of I by going to ManageDirect and selecting the Redeem Securities text link. You may choose to redeem the full amount or a partial amount. You must select a payment destination bank for your Payroll C of I. Note: Redemption of your Payroll Zero-Percent C of I does not stop your payroll allotment/direct deposit.
All Payroll C of I purchase and redemption activity is conveniently recorded in your C of I History.
