YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP WITH MORTGAGE PAYMENTS

Tembo HomeSaver: Includes 12-month introductory bonus rate + 1-year bonus rate for completing a mortgage through Tembo within 3 years. Save up to £20,000.

Tembo Fixed Rate ISA: Early withdrawals will incur a charge equivalent to 90 days’ interest on the amount withdrawn. Partial withdrawals from a Tembo Fixed Rate ISA are restricted.

Tembo LISA: Must be 18-39 to open a LISA, and it must be open 12+ months to use for a first home purchase (up to £450k). Withdrawals from a Lifetime ISA for any purpose other than buying a first home or for retirement (60+) incur a 25% government penalty, meaning you may get back less than you paid in. Market-leading defined as having the best LISA rate, excluding intro offer periods.

Tembo Stocks & Shares LISA: Capital at risk. Past performance is not a guide to future returns. You could get back less than you put in.

Best Mortgage Deal Guarantee and fee-free mortgage advice subject to terms and conditions.

The android app version is just not usable, once in the app the most you can get out of the app is the deposit calculator. Trying to access anything else is met with the following "oops, something went wrong" messaging. Not sure if the android version is still in Beta testing, but the usability and experience is pretty poor. Which is a shame, as I really want to use and get more out of the app

Hey, thanks for letting us know - it sounds like you were one of our first Android users (woohooo!) and may have encountered the old version. Please be reassured, it's now updated and working - and you'll now be able to preview our awesome features if you aren't a Nude customer yet. Hope that helps.

Joined Tembo in April through MSE. I find the app fine with no problems. I log in using biometrics and have never had any difficulty. App shows me all the info I need. I did have an issue with adding money to my ISA, but received very prompt help via email, from Abz, and sorted out the problem immediately (the issue was with my bank, not Tembo). All in all very happy.
