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.

HALIFAX Building Society is launching a one-year investment account offering a variable rate of interest, currently 7 per cent gross. Early withdrawal penalties are six months' interest on the sum taken out.

West Bromwich has launched the highest-paying escalator bond in the market, paying 7.5 per cent gross in year one, rising to 11.5 per cent in the fifth year.

Bradford & Bingley is launching a second issue of its own five-year bond, offering 6.75 gross in year one and rising to 10.75 per cent in the final year. The bond has been amended, allowing interest to be rolled up rather than paid out.

Chelsea Building Society is cutting interest rates on its Classic Account, from 6.25 per cent gross on sums above pounds 25,000 to 6 per cent. On smaller sums the rate will be 5.75 per cent.
