TreasuryViewer is a mobile app to easily view and manage your Treasurydirect.gov account.

The app logs in to the Treasurydirect.gov website for you from your phone. It then reads the information in your account and displays it in a mobile friendly manner.

The app uses your login credentials to login to TreasuryDirect right on your phone. Your username and password is never sent to us or stored anywhere except your phone.

If you have any issues, comments, or feedback, email us at contact@treasuryviewer.com at any time.

Once you open the app, provide the account number and password you use to login to Treasurydirect. Then, the app will ask you for an OTP code, that Treasurydirect will send to the email associated with your account.

Since early 2023, Treasurydirect now asks for an OTP code everytime you login. The app keeps you logged in to Treasurydirect, but that expires after a while, needing a new OTP to login.

Since we don’t know or manage any of your login information, we cannot assist with this. Visit https://treasurydirect.gov/log-in/ for help resetting your password or remembering your account number.

Some features in the app require you to register a TreasuryViewer account with us.

You can make one right in the app, using either an email/password, or with your Google account.

No. Your TreasuryDirect account number and password still stay only on your phone. All data retrieval from TreasuryDirect still also happens on device.

Using your TreasuryViewer account, you can buy Treasury securities in just a few taps. You can also view/manage your pending orders.
