Probably because if you look on BoC's UK website their current offering is only 1.21% which can be beaten by many other offerings. The FSCS thing is promoted in full on the homepage.

Bank of Cyprus does this though quite regularly, they tend to offer a market leading rate and then withdraw it two days later.

Yep, when they were offering 1.41% to new customers, the account did indeed appear on MSE's "Top Savings Accounts" page.

Any reason why BOC not recommended.

MSE is not a comparison site and doesn't always show the best deals instantly, or at all. I reckon they'll catch up on BOC offerings but the account discussed here isn't available any longer for new customers so there's little point in MSE listing it.

1.36% advised on the BoC site now.

Yep, the highest available to new customers will be 1.36% from tomorrow which would still make it the highest paying unrestricted easy access account available right now.

Yes it is. The one in this thread is no longer available to new applicants.

So? What is available was being discussed, as shown by the quotes.

100%.

There's a clue in the thread title.

So, that which is in the thread title isn't the only thing being discussed. You brought it up. Read the quotes.

Correct, I did, to advise another poster of a different option who was enquiring about the availability of the 1.56%. That doesn't mean the thread is about that different option, does it.

As you know there is a separate thread on the 1.36% account.
