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Tembo Fixed Rate ISA: Early withdrawals will incur a charge equivalent to 90 days’ interest on the amount withdrawn.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

Now have a pop up ad for their paid service which cannot be closed, so I cannot access any of my accounts. No close button on the ad, going back doesn't work. only option is to tap "learn more" but it just pops up again and when you switch back to the app completely blocking you from your accounts. absolutely ridiculous.

I use this app for my LISA and ISA. Update. the app is slow and can take a while to move from page to page. customer service can do tests to see if it is a network issue or phone issue and it can help see where the problem is. I did have a major issue where they had a pop up ad for one of their products that wouldn't let me close it and move on and it prevented me from using the app for two days but the customer services team has fixed this now and they were extremely helpful in fixing this.

Really terrible app experience, hard to see your own information between the advertisements being constantly pushed, especially when they are in popups that cannot be closed until they are finished playing an irritating ad to sell you more products. Only possible way to log in is through an insecure email code which can't be pasted in either so it's inconvenient at that step too. Rates are decent, but I'd rather pay a fee to be released from this sort of miserable user experience.
