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 NIMBLE Cheltenham & Gloucester Building Society, which pioneered the postal savings account, is launching yet another account.
No new investors will be accepted into the London Deposit Account, but existing savers can add to their accounts.
The new account, Instant 7, has a minimum investment of pounds 5,000 and minimum transaction of pounds 250. Investors can use branches to open an account and make deposits, but withdrawals must be by post. When funds are withdrawn they will lose seven days' interest.
The bottom tier up to pounds 10,000 earns 6.25 per cent, the same as the flat-rate London Share Account. Sums up to pounds 25,000 earn 6.6 per cent and the top tier pays 7.1 per cent. This compares with a top rate on sums over pounds 25,000 in the Cheltenham Gold account of 4.3 per cent.
Savers who open the new account will become members of the society. The London Deposit Account excluded savers from society membership.
