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
OnTrees is an app which allows users to get up-to-date info about their bank and savings accounts and credit cards on PCs and smartphones.
Good points
Having all your balances in one place can help with money management and budgeting and avoid unnecessary bank charges. Oh, and it's free.
Bad points
You have to link the app to your bank accounts, which some may feel uncomfortable with. The company behind it claims the service has "bank-level" security.
Conclusion
These services are huge in the US, where 10 million people use them, chiefly through a company named Mint. Similar launches over here have failed but OnTrees hopes the fact that its deal is "multi-platform" will make it more popular.
