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.

NatWest branches across the country had to be kept open late yesterday to help a “large number” of customers who were affected by technical problems that resulted in their account balances not being properly updated.

More than 1,000 NatWest branches in major towns and cities were being kept open until 7pm, a spokesman for the RBS Group said.

The banking group apologised to customers for the problems, which began on Wednesday.

During this time people struggled to use online services. Also affected were Ulster Bank customers and some customers of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), which belong to the same banking group.
