US Savings Bond in UK
« on: August 05, 2010, 12:20:58 PM »
Does anyone know if you can cash a US savings bond in the UK? The zillions of semi-relevant 0845 numbers for my bank all require my account number to use and I don't have anything handy or the number memorized, so I can't get through. Does anyone know off-hand if this is possible?

I think you can cash them at the  US Embassy.

Hm, that would be an incredibly long and expensive trip for $100 worth of bonds, haha. I wonder if I could mail them there requesting to be cashed or something. I'll call them tomorrow and see. Thanks for the idea.

Ah, you're right: http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/acs/scs/u.s_savings_bonds.html
Looks like it's significantly more trouble than it's worth, haha.
