I'm trying to buy ibonds but need a medallion notary to set up a US Treasury Direct account. However, both Chase bank and Fidelity (I'm a customer at both) said they don't provide medallions for opening new accounts because of liability. Has anyone else run into this issue? What did you do?

Similar issue for spouse. Following

Same issue, following for help

BoA also denied me and my spouse.

Will try to goto credit union next.

I just signed up online and bought ibonds, didn’t ask me for any notary.

I went to BoA - they didn’t have trouble with providing me the signature but that might be because I’ve banked with them a while and it’s branch-dependent. Medallion is not needed, there is some other type of stamp that suffices but not all bankers know this.

I think some people have said you can have a notary signature as long as the notary is from a financial institution, but when I tried with Chase they told me they didn’t want that personal liability. Treasury Direct has allegedly said this is an option over the phone but has not updated their online instructions yet.

There is also rumor of some online option but it will cost you $150. I don’t know much about that.
