With the rates being offered seemingly having peaked, and many offers becoming NLA, I think I need to lock away some savings in a 1 year fix. But which one?
I'll be maxing my ISA contributions as soon as we go into the go into the new tax year, and I am already making overpayments into my pension, so really just looking for a 1 year fix savings account to stash away about £50k.
Thanks.

Thanks @ColdIron
Secure Trust Bank's 1 year fixed rate bond at 5.25% is top of that list. But it is not in the MSE list?
Any idea why that is?

I've just taken one with Charter Savings Bank @ 5.21 AER and 5.09 paid away monthly - as that's my preference and not all fixes do that.
ETA: I already had one with Charter, so opening another was just easier than shopping around for only a tiny potential gain.2 -

Sounds good to me. But what's the catch? I've never heard of this bank before!1 -
