An EE savings bond is a U.S. Treasury security. It earns interest for up to 30 years.
EE bonds issued since May 2005 earn a fixed rate of interest. When you buy the bond, you know the rate of interest it will earn.
For EE bonds bought from November 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, the rate is 0.10%.
Older EE bonds earn interest in different ways. More on EE Bond Rates
We issue EE bonds in electronic form in our online program TreasuryDirect. We no longer issue EE bonds in paper form.
