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.

THIS summer British holidaymakers will spend more than pounds 100m abroad on their Visa Delta cards.

Visa Delta - the debit card used by 11 million current account-holders in Britain - is the only British debit card that can be used abroad.

'The advantage for a lot of people is that the money is coming out of their current account,' says a Visa spokeswoman.

Visa Delta debit card issuers include Barclays, Lloyds, TSB, Abbey National, Nationwide, and Girobank. The banks and building societies will typically levy a 1 to 1.5 per cent charge for cash withdrawals abroad. But payment of hotel and restaurant bills and other goods and services will not trigger other charges, although different banks and societies will charge different exchange rates.
