Millions with cash savings to get recommendations from banks on investing

"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."

"At present, fewer than one in ten people (9 per cent) receive paid-for and regulated financial advice tailored to their circumstances and needs. Millions of others fall into the bracket of not wanting or being able to afford financial advice, but could still benefit from such advice. Targeted support is intended to be the bridge step for that large group of Britons, who already have a cash safety buffer behind them and who could earn more with their extra money over longer periods if they invested it."

From reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting and investigative work, citing probes of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet requests donations to keep sending journalists, report both sides, maintain cross-spectrum trust, and provide free access without paywalls funded by those who can afford it. The UK will allow finance firms and regulated advisers to contact savers with cash under a government-backed support scheme to encourage investment. A Budget cut to cash ISA limits complements the push toward investing.
