Is there a bank where I may cash a bond?
You can cash in (“redeem”) your savings bonds in a few different ways. If you bought your savings bond electronically, such as a Series EE or Series I bond, you can redeem it online through your TreasuryDirect account and have the money placed into your checking or savings account within a few days.
You may usually redeem a paper savings bond at a local bank or credit union if you have one. More than 95 percent of savings bonds are cashed at local banks and credit unions, according to the Treasury Department. However, some older savings bond series cannot be redeemed at a bank or credit union; in these cases, you must fill out a special form FS Form 1522 and mail the bond to the Treasury Department’s Treasury Retail Security Services team with a certified signature and direct deposit instructions.
Even if your bank or credit union is unable to cash an older bond for you, or if you have special circumstances, such as needing to redeem a bond inherited as part of a deceased person’s estate, the bank will usually be able to explain the redemption process and certify your signature on the Treasury form. So, if you’re in doubt, go to the bank first.

You will be required to pay half of the bond’s face value. For example, a $100 bond will cost you $50.

You’ll have to wait until the bond matures to earn the full return of twice your initial investment (plus interest). While you can cash in a bond earlier, your return will be determined by the bond’s maturation schedule, which will increase over time.
The Treasury guarantees that Series EE savings bonds will achieve face value in 20 years, but Series I savings bonds have no such guarantee. Keep in mind that both attain their full potential value after 30 years.
