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
A free website – at www.savingschampion.co.uk – that tracks the interest rates paid on bank and building society savings accounts.
Good points
Add details of savings accounts and you'll be emailed if there are rate changes and told if there are better deals around. There's also a rate alert you can sign up to which emails you when there are interesting new deals around.
Bad points
If you're not online you can't use the Rate Alert.
Conclusion
This is a great free service which could ensure you don't get stuck in a useless account paying 0.1 per cent or worse. The site is hoping to widen the net this year, to include interest-paying current accounts for instance. However, we could do with a similar site for other financial products.
