The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service) is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Fiscal Service replaced the Bureau of the Public Debt and the Financial Management Service effective October 7, 2012, by directive of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.[2] The merger of the two agencies and their data centers saved $415 million.[3]
The Bureau manages the government's accounting, central payment systems, and public debt.[4] It also operates the TreasuryDirect website for purchasing Treasury securities.[5]
Among some of its better known duties is to collect any voluntary donations made to the government for reduction of the public debt.[6] The amount of donations has averaged $2.3 million per year during the last 26 years.[7] By comparison, the public debt was over $20 trillion as of 2017.[8]
