We've been with Ally for 10 years and never had a single complaint about them. Customer service is available 24/7 and everyone speaks intelligible English.
Just buy them directly from Treasury. The Treasury Direct website won't win any awards for user friendliness, but it's not difficult to set up an account, the search function is very good for finding answers and it's a full service website. And of course there are a zillion resources available on the Internet.
I spoke to Fidelity about buying T-bills or bonds through them and my recollection is that there are two ways to do it, one involves fees and one doesn't. I figured for the same effort it would take to fully understand the difference, I could probably figure out the Treasury Direct site and I was correct about that.
The idea is to balance risk and get a better return than what my bank offer. UST Direct accomplish that with one stop shopping. You get a better rate and don't have to spend ungodly amounts of time chasing rates at unknown banks all over the country.
