The Treasury Department is introducing a new level of security for TreasuryDirect accounts. This change is set to start on September 13.

The number of savers with TreasuryDirect accounts has increased, particularly when Treasury bill rates exceed those of bank CDs. Many of these accounts were created to purchase Treasury bills at weekly auctions.

Further information about the new security measures is available, including details on the updated login process for TreasuryDirect accounts.
