Iowa's Money

The Treasurer's Office

 

Hi – I’m Roby Smith, Iowa’s State Treasurer. I’d like to welcome you to learn more about Iowa’s Treasury Office and everything we do to keep the money safe in a responsible and transparent manner.

As State Treasurer, I serve as the State’s Banker and Chief Financial Officer, overseeing Iowa’s investment portfolios and various programs that help our state thrive. Each day, my office deposits and invests state monies ensuring Iowa is set up for success today, while also thinking to the future.

From programs that help save for future expenses like ISave 529 or Iowa's Achieving a Better Life Experience (IAble) plan, to returning money through Great Iowa Treasure Hunt and more - there's something here for every Iowan.
