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.

The deal

Halifax has reopened its £100 reward deal for customers switching their current account before 15 July 2012.

Good points

Paid on the day, customers start the switching process, rather than on completion like its competitors, there is, unusually, no minimum funding requirement to be eligible.

Bad points

Customers will have to get on with it as the window to apply is small. And, along with the hassle of transferring your banking activity that comes with any switch, the further linked cashback deal available with the Halifax Clarity credit card is confusing and complicated.

Conclusion

The deal, which matches the switching incentive from first direct, is attractive because there is no minimum monthly deposit required. kH
