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.Lloyds and Halifax’s online banking services appear to have run into issues, with users complaining they are unable to get online.
Others said they were able to access their banking services but saw unexpected things once they did, such as their account wrongly showing as empty.
On Twitter, Halifax said it was aware of the issues and “working to have it back to normal soon”. The same statement was issued from Lloyds’ Twitter account.
Both brands – as well as the Bank of Scotland, which also seemed to be having issues – are part of the same Lloyds Banking Group.
