treasury bonds
Government securities that pay a fixed rate of interest every six months until they mature in thirty years are known as Treasury bonds (T-bonds). These bonds are issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and provide investors with regular interest payments, known as coupon payments, and return the principal amount at maturity. T-bonds are considered low-risk investments because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

In 1995, the interest rate on a Series EE savings bond was set at 6.0% for the first six months after purchase. After that period, the bond continued to earn interest based on a fixed rate that was adjusted every six months. It's important to note that the interest is compounded semiannually, and the bonds mature after 30 years.
Interest is compounded semiannually if the interest is calculated every six months and added to the capital.

U.S. Treasury bonds typically pay interest every six months, known as semiannual interest payments. This means that if you hold a Treasury bond, you will receive interest payments twice a year until the bond matures. Other types of U.S. government securities, like Treasury bills, do not pay interest in the traditional sense, as they are sold at a discount and pay the face value at maturity.
It means that the interest is paid out every three months (quarter year). That means that the interest paid out after 3 months is earning interest for the remaining nine months. The quarterly interest rate is such that this compounding is taken into account for the "headline" annual rate. As a result, if the quarterly interest is taken out, then the total interest earned in a year will be slightly less than the quoted annual rate.
Treasury bonds are sold at thirty-year maturities and pay interest every six months.
PNC Bank compiles interest on a checking account yearly. Your statement likely contains potential earned interest every month. It will be compiled every 12 months.
