Savings Bonds

Savings Bonds are a secure, liquid investment option backed by the U.S. Government, but not insured by the FDIC, and are available to purchase at Randall-Story State Bank. Savings bonds earn interest and protect your investment from inflation. Since they earn money until they are cashed in, they are a great long-term savings option for college funding, weddings, retirement assistance, and gift giving.
