FINANCE: DEAL OF THE WEEK
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.Suddenly, like rain after a long drought, everyone's offering long-dated fixed-rate bonds again. With interest rates falling, no one had wanted to lock their money away for more than a year at a time. Now the more competitive fixed-rate bonds from banks and building societies are paying 6 to 6.25 per cent over two years. Nationwide Building Society is paying 6.75 per cent gross on a maximum investment of pounds 5,000, or pounds 10,000 in a joint account.
The snag is that you must have been a Nationwide member for three years or more, part of the society's "loyalty" bonus. There are more than 7 million people out there who are - for you, this deal is a real bargain. Contact your local branch for more details.
