Where to cash in old savings bonds?

We found some old savings bonds that have gone well past maturity, I tried to deposit/cash them in at my credit union and was told credit unions do not fool with bonds.
Sooooo, where can I cash them in that doesn't require me having an account?

I'm curious. How did someone forget about a few thousand in savings bonds?

Savings bonds are subject to federal income tax, but not state and local taxes. So good luck with that.

#lifegoals. To be wealthy enough to put a bunch of money in savings bonds then find them when cleaning out a closet.

It's more simple than that actually...parents put them away for the wife over years while she was growing up. Her family gave bonds for birthdays and such.

Check the treasury.gov website and punch in your address. Just about any federal bank will redeem them. Credit unions aren't federal banks and wouldn't qualify. Probably something to do with reporting the redemption and reflecting the taxes due at year end.

Looks like we can cash them in digitally and have funds electronically deposited

Great outcome. My wife find some paper bonds last week and they're too old so we can't redeem electronically.

If your aren't a customer I believe the limit is $1K.
Also the registered owner(co-owner works) must be present.
You also can cash them in through the Treasury Dept, via US Postal service if you can't do it electronically.
