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.

Santander is launching a new current account switching offer tomorrow, which will pay up to £300 cashback to customers who switch their main account.

Existing mortgage customers, who either already have £10,000 in savings or can deposit that amount with the bank and switch their main current account to Santander, will earn £300.

Existing mortgage customers who don't have £10,000 in savings but switch their current account will get £200.

And, in keeping with Santander's previous "switcher" offers, any new customer who switches to Santander will receive £100.

This offer will be available in branch, by phone and online for a limited time, and is for customers who switch to Santander's best buy Preferred Current Account or its Reward or Premium current accounts, both of which pay a market-leading 5 per cent AER in-credit interest for 12 months.

The switching service will allow customers to have their existing standing orders, bill payments and direct debits transferred from their old bank to their new current account and will match their existing overdraft (up to £5,000).
