Review of the Tembo Money, Lifetime ISA:

Great LISA, great app

5
I managed to get my TEMBO LISA set up the year before last, just before the tax year ended. It's worked out well and I've been able to save consistently with the LISA and also with the interest rate which is particularly high. I've been really impressed by the consistency and ease of the app and interface. Nice and clear. The new instant cash ISA is also really helpful and gives me a place to park my money outside my other bank accounts until the new tax year starts so I can move it into the LISA.

Free mortgage advice at Tembo

Tembo is a great bank. They offer plenty of support for first time buyers and the free mortgage advice is a bonus. Reviewed on: 4th February 2026

Took about 6 weeks to transfer an ISA despite claiming they could do it in 15 days. Otherwise good. Reviewed on: 4th February 2026

Glitch in the app when I first registered which meant I couldn’t sign up - however this was fixed the next day and an email sent acknowledging the problem and informing that it had been fixed. I find the different options a little confusing but otherwise I’m happy with the service. Reviewed on: 4th February 2026

Great benefits

5
Great benefits whilst using Tembo. Fantastic interest rate, which you struggle to find with competitors. Loads of extra info on the app, such as money saving tips as well as advice for first time home buyers. Have definitely, and will continue to, recommend to anyone saving for a first home.
