There's no better gift than the promise of a brighter, financially secure tomorrow. Worthy Gift Bonds allow you to tell someone special that they truly deserve something extraordinary. More than just a fleeting gesture, you're investing in their aspirations and dreams.
Gift Bonds have the same characteristics as the bonds you might buy for yourself. In fact, when you buy Gift Bonds, they actually earn interest for you until they are claimed by the recipient--and you get to keep this interest! This isn't just gifting; it's an empowering financial journey that you're inviting someone special to join.

Claiming Gift Bonds
The gift recipient will need their account to be fully setup to claim their gift bonds. If they are a new user, this means they will need to verify their personal information and connect a bank account. Once a bank account is connected, they will be able to claim their gift bonds and start earning!
If the gift recipient is an existing user, a dashboard notification will signal the arrival of your gift. They can also check their transaction activity to locate their gift bonds.
Things to remember
Gift Bonds must be held by the recipient for a minimum of 90 days after they are claimed. Click here to learn more about this holding period.
All gift recipients must be 18 years or older and a US citizen (including residents of Puerto Rico) to be eligible for Worthy Bonds.
Both you and the recipient will be notified by email about every step in this process:
When a gift bond transaction has processed and is ready for claim
When a gift bond has been claimed by the gift recipient
Issues and Resolutions:
If you made a purchase accidentally or entered the wrong email, you can cancel your transaction just like you would cancel any other bond purchase (as long as it has not finished processing)
If your purchase has processed and you made a mistake like entering the wrong email or simply do not want to give a gift anymore, you can Reclaim the gift bonds for yourself
This is done in the same way you would cancel the transaction, except now the button will be labelled as 'Reclaim'
When Gift Bonds are Reclaimed, they will appear as a regular bond purchase in your transaction history
The gift recipient will no longer be able to claim these bonds for themself
