Treasury
Zero-Percent Certificate of
Indebtedness
Funds that are deposited in a TreasuryDirect account
are automatically used to purchase a Zero-Percent Certificate of
Indebtedness also known as Zero-Percent C of I or just, C of I. The C of I
therefore is a Treasury security that does not earn any interest and it is
hence intended for use as a source of funds for traditional Treasury
security purchases. It is generally used to accumulate funds from other
sources like payroll deductions until reaching the minimum amount for a
traditional security purchase.
