Briefly: Leeds launch
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.LEEDS permanent Building Society has launched a new savings account that pays a bonus of 0.25 per cent gross (0.19 per cent net) if the account remains untouched for a year.
Bonus Gold has a minimum investment of pounds 10,000. Investors with up to pounds 25,000 get 6.85 per cent gross (5.14 per cent net) including the bonus, and the top rate on pounds 100,000-plus is 8.15 per cent gross.
The account is similar to Premium Extra launched recently by Halifax Building Society.
This is still paying 8 per cent gross (6 per cent net) on the minimum balance of pounds 10,000, but this rate is expected to be cut before long. Leeds is writing to the 250,000 savers with more than pounds 10,000 in a notice account to tell them about the new account.
