I have used Chase. Do you have an account with Chase? They will only do it for customers.

I have found this to be a confusing item for many financial institutions. Not many do it, and others know little about. I was able to find a regional office of Wells Fargo that confirmed they do it, but only with an appointment at select branches. I have found a few CU that do, and I do think CHASE does it by appointment.

They have to check internally on who has the authority, and sometime have to send over the "stamp" to be used .... so it can be difficult. I think many brokerage houses have it for customers as well.

Try credit unions, I found a small credit union that would do it but required I open an account. They did not make me open an account and wait for 6 month like most large banks.

It has been ma\ny eyars since Ineeded aMedalliion signautre guarantee. I had gogten it at differnet banks, they wee all free with my account there. It is mostly the big banks, but I do recall I got it at a small one too. It would be helpful if you let us know where you are talking of, it gives an idea of whether to mention the smaller bank over on the corner. :)

I just googled for you, and here is a list of major banks offering it for you -- Well is on it, but it specifies only at certain locations (I have been telling everyone since the late 1990s to never do any business with Wells). It says the is even a way to get it online,alhtohg I dont see how if for no other reason than they can't stamp your document:

There are many more, but try googling. I see even FedEx Employees Credit Union offers it, or other credit unioins, or a broker or other financial firm:

OK here you go, a searchable Web page to find Medalion signature guaranttee via state, city and ZIP code:

I just went to the last link you provided and I get a blank page on 2 different browsers
But down for everyone says its just me

me1004 | Jun 16, 2022 | 1,381 posts since 2010

I just checked that link. It works fine for me, gives the page to search by state, city and ZIP code.

jack12 | Jun 17, 2022 | 307 posts since 2021

i continue to get a blank white page

Good thing I have no need for one

jack12, the page worked for me, using Safari browser. Try first clearing your browser.

The directory is not complete as the big community bank where I got my form stamped with medallion, is not included. I tested search tool, using both participant name and zip codes where bank has locations, all yielded nothing.

I also have Safari, use private browsing and it showed 6 places in my small city including the bank where I worked. Worked best if I just put the city without the state or zip code. It would say that they found none until I just put the city in.

Sylvia | Jun 17, 2022 | 389 posts since 2012

I do get names, lots of them, too, just not of the community bank where I know the service is provided.

jack12 | Jun 15, 2022 | 307 posts since 2021

Fidelity will do them for customers
And I would imagine Schwab

You really don't need a guarantee. If you can envision the stamp the bank puts on paper savings bond when they are redeemed...that works

me1004 | Jun 16, 2022 | 1,381 posts since 2010

Choice, you need the Medallion signature guarantee if the place you are dealing with requires it. Many will not accept anything else.

When I went through this, about 10 months ago, the TD form clearly stated that a "bank stamp" was sufficient and that it did not need a Medallion signature guarantee. I got it done at a Wells Fargo branch with no problem.

John19 | Jun 16, 2022 | 397 posts since 2022

Wow. I have Wells and they wouldn't do it, they actually told me to go to BofA. Probably stupid employees at that branch, but if it's causing this much problems it might not be worth it. Especially if I have to go through this again sometime...I want my damn I bond!

Thanks but TD does not require a guarantee as we know guarantees

Wells Fargo did for me, but I am a customer and had to make appointment. Just another data point.

Ally6770 | Jul 6, 2022 | 4,324 posts since 2010

Credit unions and broker dealers also can provide you with the medallion stamp.

HollyHolly | Jul 8, 2022 | 90 posts since 2015

I had a hard time finding an entity to do a medallion stamp also. Harris Bank would only do it if you used Harris to buy and sell securities. Schwab where I have an acct would not do it in Chicago. Finally, Fidelity where I also have an acct did it for me.

I was finally able to open an account with Treasury Direct today, so I had to revisit this nightmare lol. I wasn't able to buy I bonds or EE bonds for three years. Very mad. Others have had similar experiences trying to get a medallion stamp. I wonder if they would make me do that again, so I'm kind of worried about Treasury Direct.

A judge or clerk of any US court (federal / state) can stamp the I-Bond form

Infinityy | Jul 6, 2022 | 107 posts since 2020

I was mistaken here, the form does need to be completed by an employee of a financial institution

Actually read the form, to determine what type of stamp is required. Call your bank or credit union and ask them if they can do it. They can read the form also. A corporate stamp was sufficient for a change of bank information.

I worked in a pretty small city that had 7 banks and credit unions but our branch even with the few employees had 3 people who were authorized to do medallion signatures. It is not that uncommon. I believe even the broker in our branch did it and would be the 4th person.
