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.Travellers shop around for the best-value holiday, but the latest research from Thomas Cook suggests that few bother to compare the cost of foreign currency.
We compared the cost of buying 50,000 Greek drachmae, and the difference between the lowest, through American Express, and the highest, through Barclays, was almost pounds 3.
American Express: pounds 142.90.
National Bank of Greece: pounds 144.45
NatWest: pounds 144.50.
Thomas Cook: pounds 145.45.
Lloyds: pounds 145.73.
Barclays: pounds 145.86.
