Treasury Direct doesn't even need a wire transfer; you can just debit your bank account (like Paypal)--and also transfer maturing bills and interest balances direct into your account. But maybe that is what you mean.

Just be very careful in setting up automatic debits from your bank account. I did something wrong and suddenly I had an overdraft of $10,000 in my bank account.

Be warned, though - I bought Tbills for liquidity, and Treasury Direct doesn't let you do *anything* with them for 45 days! That's my problem - I expected to ship them to my broker as collateral for short sales. Not for six weeks! Can't sell 'em either. Another way the smaller fry like me get hosed.
