These selling commissions will vary and will be up to $15.052 per $1,000 principal amount Note. Brokerdealers who purchase the Notes for sales to eligible institutional investors or fee-based advisory accounts may forgo some or all of these selling commissions. See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” on page PS-7 of this pricing supplement.

Because our affiliate, USBI, is participating in sales of the Notes, the offering is being conducted in compliance with the applicable requirements of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 5121.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of U.S. Bancorp and all payments on the Notes are subject to the credit risk of U.S. Bancorp. The Notes will not constitute deposits insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency or instrumentality of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these Notes or determined if this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Investing in the Notes involves risks. See the “Additional Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-4 of this pricing supplement and the “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.

We will deliver the Notes in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC on or about November 7, 2024 against payment in immediately available funds.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. In addition to the following risks included in this pricing supplement, we urge you to read “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.

You should understand the risks of investing in the Notes and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with your advisers, of the suitability of the Notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information set forth in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and the prospectus.

Structure Risks

We may redeem the Notes prior to maturity, in which case you will receive no further interest payments.

We retain the option to redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, on the Redemption Date by giving at least five business days’ prior notice. It is more likely that we will redeem the Notes prior to their stated Maturity Date to the extent that the interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on our other instruments of a comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. If the Notes are redeemed prior to their stated Maturity Date, you will receive no further interest payments from the Notes redeemed and may have to reinvest the proceeds in a lower rate environment.

If we redeem the Notes prior to the Maturity Date, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate.

If we redeem the Notes prior to the Maturity Date the term of the Notes will be reduced, and you will not receive interest payments after the applicable Redemption Date. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return and/or with a comparable interest rate for a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.

The price at which the Notes may be sold prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less than the amount for which they were originally purchased.

The price at which the Notes may be sold prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to: (i) changes in interest rates generally, (ii) any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads, and (iii) time remaining to maturity. In particular, because the terms of the Notes permit us to redeem the Notes prior to maturity, the price of the Notes may be impacted by the redemption feature of the Notes. Additionally, the interest rates of the Notes reflect not only our credit spread generally but also the redemption feature of the Notes and thus may not reflect the rate at which a note without a redemption feature and increasing interest rate might be issued and sold.

Depending on the actual or anticipated level of interest rates, the market value of the Notes may decrease, and you may receive substantially less than 100% of the price to public if you sell your Notes prior to maturity.

Conflicts of Interest

Potential conflicts of interest.

We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including acting as calculation agent, acting as an agent of the offering of the Notes and hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, our economic interests and the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. In addition, our business activities, including hedging and trading activities for our own accounts or on behalf of customers, could cause our economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the Notes and the value of the Notes. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the Notes could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Notes declines.

PS-4

General Risks

Your investment is subject to our credit risk.

The Notes are our senior unsecured debt obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. As further described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus, the Notes will rank on par with all of the other unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer, except such obligations as may be preferred by operation of law. All payments to be made on the Notes, including the interest payments and the return of the principal amount at maturity, depend on our ability to satisfy our obligations as they come due. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the market value of the Notes, and, in the event we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive the amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

If we default on our obligations under the Notes, your investment would be at risk and you could lose some or all of your investment. See “Description of Notes—Events of Default” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

The inclusion of dealer spread and projected profit from hedging in the price to public is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices.

Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which USBI or any other party is willing to purchase the Notes at any time in secondary market transactions will likely be significantly lower than the price to public, since secondary market prices are likely to exclude fees and commissions paid with respect to the Notes and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes that are included in the price to public. The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that we and/or our affiliates may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions. These secondary market prices are also likely to be reduced by the costs of unwinding the related hedging transactions. In addition, any secondary market prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by USBI as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and we do not expect a secondary market for the Notes to develop.

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although USBI and/or its affiliates may purchase the Notes from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the Notes. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop for the Notes. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to sell your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which USBI and/or its affiliates are willing to buy your Notes.

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your Notes prior to maturity or early redemption. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the Notes to maturity or early redemption.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The discussion entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying prospectus supplement provides a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to an investment in the Notes, which you should carefully review prior to investing in the Notes. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and other tax consequences of your investment in the Notes in your particular circumstances, including the application of state, local or other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

PS-6

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

USBI will purchase the Notes from us at the price to public less the selling commissions set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement for distribution to other registered broker-dealers or will offer the Notes directly to investors.

USBI or other registered broker-dealers will offer the Notes at the price to public set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. USBI may pay some or all of the selling commissions it receives from us to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers. These selling commissions will vary and will be up to $15.052 per $1,000 principal amount Note. Broker-dealers who purchase the Notes for sales to eligible institutional investors or fee-based advisory accounts may forgo some or all of these selling commissions.

We expect to deliver the Notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is more than one business day following the Pricing Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on any date prior to the business day before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

Conflicts of Interest

Our affiliate, USBI, is a member of FINRA and is participating in the distribution of the Notes. Because USBI has a conflict of interest pursuant to FINRA Rule 5121, the distribution arrangements for this offering must comply with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121, regarding a FINRA member firm’s participation in the distribution of securities of an affiliate. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, no FINRA member firm that has a conflict of interest under FINRA Rule 5121 may make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior approval of the customer.

Market-Making Resales by Affiliates

Our affiliates, including USBI, may use this pricing supplement, the prospectus supplement and the prospectus, together with any other applicable prospectus, in connection with offers and sales of Notes in the secondary market. These affiliates may act as principal or agent in those transactions. Secondary market sales will be made at prices related to market prices at the time of sale. In this pricing supplement, the prospectus supplement and the prospectus, an offering of Notes refers to the initial offering of the Notes made in connection with their original issuance, and does not refer to any subsequent resales of Notes in market-making transactions.

While USBI may make markets in the Notes, it is under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. See the section titled “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

The price at which you purchase the Notes includes costs that we or our affiliates expect to incur and profits that we or our affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the Notes. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the Notes. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your Notes on the Original Issue Date.

LEGAL MATTERS

In the opinion of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, as counsel to the Company, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the trustee in accordance with the indenture and when payment therefor is received by the Company, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except that (a) the enforceability thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and (ii) general principles of equity and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (b) the enforceability of provisions imposing liquidated damages, penalties or an increase in interest rate upon the occurrence of certain events may be limited in certain circumstances.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited solely to the Federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the opinion of such counsel dated September 20, 2024, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 20, 2024.
