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.

Interest rates are creeping up, as Legal & General demonstrates this week. The L&G offer is a one-year account - Term Savings V.

For savings between pounds 2,500 and pounds 5,000, the rate is 6 per cent gross, rising to 6.25 per cent on deposits between pounds 5,000 and pounds 10,000. Above that limit, the rate paid is 6.5 per cent gross. The snag is that the rate is fixed for only nine months, then your cash is switched into an L&G Direct Access account, where interest will be that applying at the time. Uncertainty in the final three months, but an attractive up-front deal.
