Personal finance: Loose change
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 HALIFAX has become the first bank to sell one million ISAs. More than 800,000 of those are the bank's cheap cash ISA, the Halifax ISA Saver, which is basically just a tax-free savings account.
Cash ISAs are attracting more, and younger, savers than the Tessas they replace. Under-35s made up just 3 per cent of Tessa holders, but account for 14 per cent of ISA Saver customers. Three out of every five ISA Savers were sold to women.
The Halifax's millionth ISA buyer, 28-year-old Julia Gibbons, of Southfields, London, won a weekend break to add to her tax savings. Around 200,000 customers have opened a Halifax ISA Investor account, the Halifax's equity ISA, which is available in both CAT (Charges Access Terms) standard and non-CAT standard form. Those applying include the majority of previous Halifax PEP customers as well as new investors.
