London Capital & Finance

I have been looking into high interest saving accounts recently and found one with London Capital & Finance;
They offer Fixed Rate bonds with a minimum deposit of £5k and pay 3.8% for a one year bond, 6.5% for a 2 year bond or 8% for a 3 year bond.
I'm cautious, as I wouldn't want to put some money where I may not see it ever again, so my question is;
Is something like this too good to be true, not be trusted and I shouldn't go anywhere near it ?
Am curious how MSE hasn't mentioned it in a recent piece on savings, where it only mentioned Atom Bank paying 2% via an App.
Thanks for reading and would appreciate anyone's views/thoughts on this.
