Spotlight: 5% Regular Saver from RBS NatWest
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.There's another new option for savers seeking to maximise returns during this low interest rate environment. The Royal Bank of Scotland Group is launching a Regular Saver Account paying 5 per cent.
Available from Monday under both the RBS and NatWest brands, the account will pay a fixed rate of 5 per cent for 12 months.
Designed to encourage regular saving, customers can pay in between £25 and £250 a month. A deposit must be made every month during the 12-month term in order to qualify for the top rate, although as long as the minimum payment is made, the amount can be varied. If a monthly deposit is missed, the rate will drop to a measly 0.2 per cent.
You cannot access your money during the one-year term and, in order to qualify for the account, you must have an additional savings or current account with NatWest or RBS, which must be kept open for the entire term of the Regular Saver.
