The online milestone comes during a year marked by strong overall sales, as total U.S. Israel bond investments in 2015 are on pace to surpass $1 billion for the third consecutive year.
“Online investments have become an increasingly vital part of the Israel Bonds effort to expand sales and diversify our client base, ” Tapoohi said, adding that “Every single Israel bond investor shares the commonality of acquiring a strong investment and delivering a resounding ‘No’ to BDS supporters.”
