Looking at your "Fixed-term savings accounts" for "One-year fixes – what we'd go for", you recommend SmartSave with 4.26%, followed by Charter Savings Bank 4.24% and Vanquis Bank 4.2%.

Having a look elsewhere, I notice that FirstSave have a Fixed Rate Bond Accounts "1 year bond monthly interest - Dec22" with AER of 4.30%.

I just wondered whether there was a reason why you haven't recommended it?

I'd be interested to hear any advice, before I consider whether to save with FirstSave at all.

Best to check savings providers website in the first instance

Sorry this product is unavailable

The 1 Year Fixed Bond is now fully subscribed and is no longer available.

You can view a range of alternative products that may be of interest to you b

Re checking 'in the first instance', to be fair, it was available when OP posted earlier this afternoon!

Do you know that for certain, other F.S fixed rate periods were showing on 3rd party site yesterday as highest rate despite having been withdrawn .......

Yes, it was there. I went to look at FirstSave's website not long after the OP posted.

Did you go past all three stages ?

I can't speak for @wmb194 but (out of curiosity too) I certainly went through those early stages of the application process on the FirstSave site, which involved being forced to download various explanatory documents prior to ticking the boxes to confirm that this had been done, prior to reaching the capture of personal details, at which point I stopped - it was definitely well past the point at which the process is now terminated with the unavailability message.
