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 RATES being offered by Cheltenham & Gloucester and National Counties building societies look particularly attractive in comparison with their competitors', but both will be reviewed at the end of the year. Gross rates on other building society accounts are mostly in the range of 9.1 to 9.8 per cent, but may come down in early 1993.

Other noteworthy building society accounts at the moment include Skipton Building Society's 9.25 per cent gross return on its postal account (minimum investment pounds 20,000).

Other attractive Tessas include the 9.49 per cent return being offered by Cheshire Building Society. The minimum investment is pounds 1, and the transfer penalty is pounds 25.

On guaranteed income bonds, Hill Samuel is offering a 6.5 per cent annual return on its pounds 5,000-minimum, five-year bond.

On three-year bonds, Liberty Life is offering an annual 6.4 per cent return on investments of pounds 50,000 or more. Prosperity is offering 5.9 per cent on its one-year bond on pounds 25,000 or more.
