    The U.S. Treasury is boosting its efforts to attract individual investors by automating purchases of savings bonds through bank accounts. Under the new EasySaver program, people will be able to make regular purchases of saving bonds by authorizing direct transactions between their banks and the Treasury, according to Gary Gensler, assistant Treasury secretary for financial markets. The program is modeled after the payroll savings plan for savings bonds and applies to the Treasuryıs standard Series EE savings bonds and its new Series I inflation-indexed bonds.

    Get your application to enroll in EasySaver from the Bureau of Public Debt web site at www.easysaver.gov or call 1-877-811-SAVE.
