2007-12-06

As a reminder, employees have the option to purchase U.S. Savings Bonds through payroll deduction. National Bond and Trust Company (NBT) of Crown Point, Ind., administers BNSF's U.S. Savings Bond program. Employees may contact NBT for changes to deduction amounts, address, beneficiary or any other changes that affect savings bonds. NBT can be reached Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, by calling 1-800-426-9314. Changes also can be made by clicking on "Contact Us" in the upper right corner of NBT's Web site (http://www.nbtco.com ).

To inquire on U.S. savings bonds current rates, go to NBT's Web site and click on the home page. NBT also offers an optional insurance program on bond purchases that allows employees, for a small fee or premium, to obtain insurance protection on bond purchases guaranteeing continuation of bonds for 10 years in the event of death. There is no obligation to purchase the insurance; however, it is a feature that was not previously available.
