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
The Investec High 5 Issue 2 Account and the Investec High 10 Account will pay the average of the top five and 10 best-buy accounts as chosen by Moneyfacts.
Good points
The rates are reviewed every Tuesday so they should always be competitive, although they will never lead the best-buy tables.
Bad points
You'll need a minimum of £25,000 to open an account. There are long notice periods: High 5 Issue 2 is a six-month notice account, while the High 10 Account needs three months' notice. Conclusion
This is a great idea. All most savers want is a place to leave their cash until they need it and not have to constantly change accounts to ensure a decent rate of interest. These accounts offer that, although it's a shame the minimum deposit is so high.
