Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Nationwide and NatWest say they have fixed IT glitches that left customers overdrawn or unable to access their accounts.

The problems left nearly 750,000 customers of Britain's biggest building society, Nationwide, out of pocket after debit card payments were taken from their accounts twice. Nationwide said it corrected the errors on Thursday and has promised to reimburse those affected.

NatWest, rebuilding its reputation after a huge IT meltdown last month, saw its online service freeze on Thursday. NatWest said yesterday that its online service was working again.
