I would definitely point you towards Punjab National Bank at the moment. It is a part of the UK compensation scheme.
I have just placed with them for a year at 3.35%. I need the money in a year's time otherwise I would have placed for longer.

Check their rates here:

They are allowing new customer to join again now? Last week FD accounts were closed to new customers.

Seemingly so.
I have never used them previously and had tried to get through 3 times unsuccessfully on the phone, having waited about 25 minutes each time. Purely out of frustration, I sent an email to their website, complaining about the poor telephone response for customers and a "senior manager" responded to me. I have since been in email correspondence with him and he has said that my application will go through, with a year at 3.35%, if it is received by the 21st. His actual words, on the 14th, were:

We confirm that that the rate of 3.35%, currently on offer at time of receipt of application before 21st Nov 2012, will be applied to the deposit.

I sent it off on Wednesday but, at 6-00pm last night, I got an email saying that he hadn't got it yet which is a tad worrying but I guess that they must have a load to wade through at the rate offered.
It could be delaying tactics, perhaps, but I won't accept a lower rate from them now.

And now the latest from the Punjab National Bank.....

Ted

But the website gives the impression that the Fixed Rate accounts are still OK, presumably they're not online, which doesn't really matter, as once you've posted everything, you just sit and wait for the term to be up!

Looking at my spreadsheet, the best we took out was in 2011-2016 with Stroud and Swindon, now Coventry.

Accumulator bond 4.25-5.25%, seemed to be the best of the bunch at the time.
I will, like many others, be scrambling around next year when other bonds/ISAs mature.
