THE ISRAEL BONDS FINANCING PROGRAM
SIGNIFICANT FUNDS FOR ISRAEL. RELATIVELY LOW COST FOR PARTICIPANTS.

FINANCE A 2-YEAR ISRAEL BOND:

• Investments available from $100,000 to $2 million
• Increments: $25,000
• Maturity: Two years

HOW IT WORKS:

• Apply to a participating bank for a loan in the amount of the desired denomination
• Upon approval, your Israel bond is assigned to the bank as collateral
• The State of Israel sends the interest directly to the bank
• You pay the difference between the interest paid by Israel and the amount of interest due on the loan, usually a fixed amount for the duration of the loan
• When the bond reaches maturity, the proceeds are paid to the bank and your payment obligations are complete

FOR EXAMPLE:

• Finance a bond in your specified amount
• Interest paid by Israel is 1.10%*
• Customer pays difference between 1.10% and what bank is charging for each specified amount
• Personal annual cost for two years:*
• $100,000 bond / x 2 years = $2,840
• $250,000 bond / x 2 years = 6,100
• $500,000 bond / x 2 years = 10,200
• $1 million bond / x 2 years = 10,400

TERMS & CONDITIONS:

• Each participating bank sets the specific terms for the loan. You will be asked to submit a current personal financial statement, tax returns for the last two years and additional information as requested. The bank will ask you to deposit and maintain, in an interest-bearing account, an amount equal to the sum to be paid over the course of the loan. Other conditions, such as an additional fixed amount, may also apply. Loan approval is at the sole discretion of the bank.
• Interest paid on the loan may be tax deductible, subject to specific limits provided by law. Consult your tax advisor to determine applicable regulations.
