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 has improved returns on two of its fixed-rate investment accounts, the Stepped Income Reserve and Guaranteed Reserve.

M&G, the investment company, has launched a Lifetime Distribution Bond offering various options designed to maximise income or build capital. The Maximum Income Fund will pay quarterly income of 6.4 per cent.

City & Metropolitan Building Society is offering 6.7 per cent interest, paid monthly, for investments above pounds 25,000 in its Super 90 account.
