Treasury securities give you the freedom of safe and secure investment options that are backed by the government with the guarantee that interest and principal payments will be paid on time. For your convenience, Citizens~Union Savings Bank participates in TreasuryDirect so that interest and principal payments can be made directly into your Citizens~Union Savings Bank checking or savings account. Also, most treasury securities are liquid, which means that they can easily be sold for cash.
