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.

HALIFAX and Nationwide building societies have launched new fixed-rate loans with lower rates.

The Halifax loans have stepped rates and there are separate ranges for first-time buyers, existing customers and others. The lowest rate for first-time buyers is 6.25 per cent, until the end of January 1995, rising to 6.75 per cent until the end of January 1996. There are higher rates for longer periods.

Nationwide's deals range from 5.99 per cent for two years for first-time buyers to 8.95 per cent for 10 years available to all borrowers.

Confederation Bank's five- year fix has an arrangement fee of pounds 295 and the borrower is not required to take out any compulsory insurance.

Bank of Ireland Mortgages is offering a rate of 3.75 per cent until 1 January 1995 and borrowers can take this on a fixed or capped basis.
