Setting up your Israel Bonds online account is the first step to purchasing Israel bonds, accessing your transaction history, and managing your information securely. The process is simple, user friendly, and designed to help you get started quickly, whether you are opening an account for yourself or managing multiple registrations.
This guide explains how to create an online account, how multiple accounts work, and what to do if you live outside the United States.
How to Create Your Online Account
To begin, visit online.israelbonds.com and select Create an Account.
You will be prompted to create a username and password. After signing in for the first time, you will enter your personal information, including your contact details and any required identification information.
Once your information is submitted, you will receive a verification code by email. Enter the six digit code to confirm your email address and activate your online access. After verification, your account will be ready to use for purchases, recipient management, and secure access to your purchaser profile.
This step ensures that your online account is associated with the correct email address and provides an added layer of security for future transactions.
Can I Have Multiple Accounts?
Yes. Israel Bonds offers two types of purchaser accounts on the investor site: Individual accounts and Entity accounts. Both can be created and managed under a single username on the DCI online system at online.israelbonds.com.
After registering for online access, an investor may:
- Apply for an Individual Purchasing Account, which is used to buy Israel bonds with their personal checking account.
- Apply for an Entity Purchasing Account, which is used to make purchases on behalf of a trust, estate, company, organization, or other legal entity using the entity’s funds.
Each purchasing account requires its own application and verification process, but all purchasing accounts tied to the same investor will appear under one login. This structure allows investors to purchase bonds under both their personal and entity-related accounts in one place while keeping each account’s records separate and properly organized.
It is important to note that DCI purchasing accounts are distinct from Computershare bondholder accounts.
Purchasing accounts are used to buy Israel bonds.
Computershare accounts, accessed through Israel Bonds Direct (IBD), are used to view
and manage bondholder records after a bond has been issued.
When purchases are made from different purchasing accounts, confirmations are issued according to the purchaser.
For example:
If an investor makes one purchase from their Individual Purchasing Account and a second purchase from their Trust Purchasing Account, the bond recipient will receive two separate confirmations. Each confirmation identifies which purchaser account completed the transaction to ensure accurate recordkeeping.
Setting Up an Account if You Live Outside the United States
The Development Corporation for Israel (Israel Bonds) serves purchasers within the United States. If you live outside the United States, online access is available through affiliated organizations that support international purchases.

These affiliates provide their own platforms, account setup processes, and customer support for investors in their regions.

Setting up your online account is the gateway to purchasing Israel bonds, managing your information securely, and accessing tools designed to streamline your investing experience. Whether you are opening an individual or entity account, the process is straightforward and supported by verification safeguards that help protect your information.
