What are treasury bills? How do they work?

Treasury bills, or T-Bills, are short-term financial instruments that governments issue, typically with a maturity (duration) of up to one year. They are a form of investment where you essentially lend money to the government (like a regular government bond), which in turn promises to pay you back on the day the bill matures.

Unlike regular bonds, Treasury bills do not pay interest every year. Instead, they are issued at a discount to their face value meaning you pay less to buy them today than what they will be worth at maturity, and the difference will be your profit.

Let's work through an example. The European Union issues a Treasury bill that matures in 1 year with a yield of 4%. This means that what you will receive back at maturity will be 4% more than what you will pay now. On issue day, you buy €1000 worth of the EU Treasury bill. A year later, upon maturity, the EU pays you back €1040 (your initial €1000 + 4%) so you've made €40 in profit.

Can I withdraw whenever I want?

Yes you can, the Treasury bill is one of the most liquid markets in the world. To withdraw, you'll have to sell your investment before maturity and your return will be proportional to the time you kept the bill, assuming short-term rates do not materially change.

It's important to note that the price you will receive will depend on market conditions, and you may receive less than what you initially paid if interest rates have risen.

How long does it take to open an account?

It takes less than 10 minutes! We're required by the regulator to ask a series of questions regarding your business as well as your employment, financial status and investment knowledge and perform an ID document verification.

Please have your ID or passport and a recent utility bill or bank statement at hand before you start the onboarding process.

Is my business eligible to invest with Sophic?

Your business is eligible if it’s based in the EU/EEA, has an active Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), is not included on the prohibited industries and is able to provide proof of legal existence.

If you don't have a LEI, you can obtain one online at a small cost. Please note that your LEI should be renewed every year.

Is there a minimum investment amount?

We currently have an account opening minimum deposit of €20,000. After your account is open, there is no minimum deposit but each Treasury bill might have a minimum investment amount associated with it, depending on liquidity.

What are your fees?

We currently charge two fees:

> 0.3% annual service fee on your invested balance only. There are no fees on your cash balance.

> €10 per order (buy or sell) to cover our settlement costs. There are no fees for deposits, withdrawals or bill maturities.
