INSTRUCTIONS YOU MAY NEED FOLLOWING THE ADDITION OF A BANK ACCOUNT
Adding a bank account to your TreasuryDirect account is only that—the addition of a bank account. It does not delete
any previously entered bank accounts nor does it change the source of funds for pending purchases or the destination
for interest and/or maturity payments. After we add a bank account to your TreasuryDirect account, you may need to do
one or more of the following:
•

Delete a Bank Account – You can access your TreasuryDirect account and delete any bank as long as it is not
the Primary Bank. If you would like us to designate a different bank already listed in your TreasuryDirect
account as your Primary Bank, email us by clicking the Contact Us link in your TreasuryDirect account.

•

Change the Source of Funds for Pending Purchases – You may change the source of funds on pending
purchases by accessing your TreasuryDirect account and deleting the previous bank. The system will then
prompt you to choose a bank from a drop-down list. If you do not wish to delete the previous bank, you can
change the source of funds by deleting the purchases and re-scheduling them using another bank.

•

Change the Payment Destination for Interest & Maturity Payments (Treasury Bills, Notes, Bonds, and
TIPS) – You may change the interest and/or maturity payment destination(s) to a different bank by accessing
your TreasuryDirect account and deleting the previous bank. The system will then prompt you to choose a bank
from a drop-down list. If you do not wish to delete the previous bank, you can change the payment
destination(s) by clicking the Edit Payment Destination button on the Current Holdings Detail page for each
security.

HOW A CLOSED BOOK PERIOD CAN AFFECT YOUR REQUEST
Four business days prior to a scheduled interest and/or maturity payment, TreasuryDirect imposes a Closed Book
Period that locks applicable marketable securities so we can schedule upcoming payments. This rule applies to interest
and maturity payments for bills, notes, bonds, and TIPS.
The Closed Book Period begins at 12:00 a.m., Eastern Time, of the fourth business day prior to the payment date and
ends at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, of the business day preceding the interest or maturity payment date.
TreasuryDirect will not allow the following during a Closed Book Period.
•
•
•
•
•

Change of registration
Change of payment destination
Change of View/Transact Rights
Internal and external transfers
SellDirect requests

If the security is in a Closed Book Period because of maturity of the security, any online transactions scheduled but not
processed will be cancelled. If the security is simply paying interest, the scheduled transactions will be processed as
soon as the security is out of the Closed Book Period.
