Rock softens postal rates
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.NORTHERN Rock Building Society's instant access postal account, Go Direct, is cutting rates from 2 September, from 10.95 per cent to 10.75 per cent gross on a minimum investment of pounds 20,000. Investors who got into the now closed Postal account still get the same high rates - a top payout of 11 per cent.
So the best buy now is the Balmoral High Interest postal account from Bristol & West. But the rates on this account come down on 1 September to 10.55 per cent on the top tier of pounds 25,000 plus and from 10.45 per cent to 10.3 per cent on pounds 2,000 to pounds 25,000.
Stroud and Swindon Building Society's Tessa dropped its rate from 11.6 to 11 per cent, on a minimum pounds 100, so the best buy becomes Exeter Bank at 11.46 per cent.
