Kindly explain how to calculate when to expect payment.

    You don’t start earning the coupon from the day you subscribed it starts from the bond’s issue date.

    You don’t start earning the coupon from the day you subscribed it starts from the bond’s issue date.

    Here’s how it works,

    • FGN Savings Bonds are usually issued a few days after the offer closes (not on your subscription date).
    • Coupon payments come every 3 months from the issue date, not from when you paid.

    For your case

    You subscribed January 13, 2026 (January offer).

    The bond’s issue date was around late January 2026 (typically the 3rd business day after offer close).

    So your payments follow this pattern,

    • 1st coupon: around April 2026
    • 2nd coupon: July 2026
    • 3rd coupon: October 2026
    • 4th coupon: January 2027

    How to calculate it yourself

    1. Find the Issue Date of that month’s FGN Savings Bond.
    2. Add 3 months repeatedly.
    3. Those dates are your coupon payment periods.

    So you didn’t miss anything March was too early. Your first payment should come around April.
