This card doubles as an ATM card and an electronic checkbook. Use it to access your accounts at an ATM and make purchases at any of the 14 million locations worldwide that accept Mastercard®. And just like a check, the money is deducted from your checking account, rather than charging it like a credit card.

Savings Bonds
The Bureau of the Public Debt announced that as of January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds will no longer be sold at financial institutions. This action, which supports the U.S. Department of the Treasury's goal to increase the number of electronic transactions with citizens and businesses, will save American taxpayers approximately $70 million over the first five years.
You can however, purchase bonds directly from the U.S. Treasury. Go to the Treasury's website to learn about purchasing savings bonds: www.treasurydirect.gov
