When is the issue date established on a savings bond I buy in TreasuryDirect?
Savings bonds purchased in TreasuryDirect are posted to your account one business day after they are purchased. The issue date of the savings bond is the first day of the month in which the savings bond is posted. For example, if the purchase is made on May 31 and the savings bond posts on June 1, the issue date is June 1; but if the purchase is made on May 26 and the savings bond posts on May 27, the issue date is May 1.
