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 deal
Cheshire building society has launched issue 3 of its Direct Cash ISA with a rate of 4.05 per cent.
Good points
It's a market-leading rate and all returns on a cash ISA are paid free of tax. You can put up to £5,340 into a cash ISA before 6 April. The society has also increased the rate on issue 1 of its Direct Cash ISA to 3.35 per cent.
Bad points
It's an 18-month fixed rate, which means you'll lose out an any great deals in the next ISA season. Also if you need to withdraw cash before the end of the 18 months, you'll be charged 180 days' interest.
Conclusion
The Cheshire is part of Nationwide. By using the Cheshire brand, the Nationwide can jump to the top of the best-buy tables with offering the deal to all its customers. Wait to sign up as there are likely to be better deals in the offing before the end of the current tax year on 5 April.
