How to Buy Series I Savings Bonds
Series I Savings Bonds help protect your assets from inflation. With an I Bond, you earn both a fixed rate of interest and a rate that changes with inflation. Two times per year, they set the inflation rate for the next six months. They can be purchased for yourself, your child, or as a gift for someone else. Series I Savings Bonds are currently yielding 9.62% when purchased through October 28, 2022. The new bond will be repriced on November 1, 2022, with an interest rate of 6.48% so it’s important to act fast to lock in the 9.62%.
