On-the-spot share deals service
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.BRISTOL & West Building Society is starting an on-the-spot share dealing service in its five financial centres.
The instant service is being run in conjunction with ShareLink and will charge a minimum commission of pounds 20. This compares with a minimum of pounds 20 for NatWest's Touchscreen dealing or pounds 25 for dealing in branches without the service, with pounds 9.95 for postal deals.
Customers at B&W will know the price at which the deal has been struck and can pay by cheque or by transferring funds from a B&W account. Sellers will have to bring their share certificates into the centre.
The centres are in Bristol, Exeter, Edgware, Lewisham and Watford and a sixth is due to open at Ilford, Essex, next month.
