Series EE Savings Bonds

Series EE Savings Bonds are U.S. government savings bonds designed to encourage long-term saving. They can be purchased at face value (for example, a $100 bond costs $100) and earn interest over time, typically doubled in 20 years. They are low-risk investments, backed by the government, and suitable for individuals saving for education or long-term goals. Interest is exempt from state and local taxes, and federal taxes can be deferred until redemption. Series EE bonds can be purchased electronically or in paper form, making them accessible for many savers.
