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.

CARD CLEAR, which checks credit card payments, has attracted the US financial group GE Capital. It has taken a 9.9 per cent stake, worth around pounds 6.8m. Card Clear shares rose 5p to 55.5p. GE Capital, a unit of General Electric Co of the US, has been on something of a buying spree in this country. Last year it acquired TLS, a truck and commercial vehicle specialist, for pounds 68.2m and paid pounds 118m for Central Transport Rental, the old Tiphook trailer group. It has made no secret of its intention to make further acquisitions.

PACE MICRO, once approaching 250p, rose 7.5p to 74p. The shares of the set-top decoder maker have been on a roll since two directors each acquired 2.8 million shares at 44.5p.

INTERNET Technology is expected to follow this year's forecast pounds 1.8m loss with a pounds 2.3m profit and then make pounds 7.1m by SG Securities; the shares slipped 4p to 58.5p
