    Yes it would not be legal if we didn't give you access. So there are protections there.

    We can't support those unfortunately right now. Maybe in the future.

    No these are different securities. I Bonds are very unique in how they are structured.

    We don't make money really on I Bonds. User acquisition play.

    Yeah we have very easy way to give you your TD account directly. If this were to happen, we would give access to everyone and ensure they received the information to take over thei…

    Thanks for the feedback and thoughts. I guess those aspects of TD are nice, but if you ever make a mistake, they don't handle it gracefully.

    1) Easier UI and management of your I Bonds. Treasury Direct has lots of issues and you'll likely end up having to call in and wait on hold for 2 hours with customer support at som…

    Didn't know pasting worked.

    We do the latter. Performing actions as if we were you. I am not worried given that.

    What do you mean exactly by ID? We do Series I Bonds.

    Does any other website in the world use a virtual keyboard like that? I don't really understand why they do it. To prevent keystroke tracking I guess? It's bizarre.

    You need a US SSN or TIN

    They only updated the front end main landing pages, not the core experience of opening accounts logging in, filling out forms, making mistakes. That is all the same as it's always …

    Glad you didn't have to deal with any of Treasury Direct's nonsense. If you make a mistake logging in, you have to wait on hold with customer support for around 2 hours.

    We don't. There is a completely optional way to pay us what you want when you buy the I Bond, but this is a brand awareness play for us. Our hope is to drive new acquisition and to…

    Yes just reach out and on request, we can give you full access to your Treasury Direct account any time.

    Correct - good point. Edited the post to add this piece of info which is important.

    Unfortunately not. We can only support accounts that haven't previously created Treasury Direct accounts.
