Best saving account

Hi
I’m new to this, been looking at MSE to find best saving a/c to open with £1k, paying in the same each month for a year-18mnts. Want best rate, have to look at fixed bonds...any suggestions.
Most of the best rates only allow 1 deposit?
TIA

    Are you paying in £1k each month?
    As a starter open a Nationwide Flex direct current account which pays 5% on upto £2500 for a year. Then once thats maxed out they have a linked reg saver which you can deposit £250 a month at 5%

    Tsb current account also pays 5% on upto £1500

    If you are saving £1k a month you can just open 3 more reg savers at other banks.
    There are 5% accounts which are linked to current accounts but if thats too much hassle you should be able to get stand alone ones for about 2.5% think virgin has one for 3% but have to go in store to open i believe
