It has competitive savings products and the mortgage advice is free to existing customers. <\/p><p>Tembo is a whole-of-market broker, which means you don\u2019t have to shop around \u2013 making the stressful experience of buying your first home more manageable. It\u2019s also well-equipped to help if you\u2019re looking for a more specialist or complex mortgage.<\/p><p>However, if you\u2019re looking for a simple mortgage broker rather than a comprehensive homeownership platform, the number of features and different products in Tembo could feel a little overwhelming. You may also be charged fees if you\u2019re not an existing customer, whereas there are fee-free brokers out there. <\/p><p>Tembo makes a bold claim that it can increase the average user\u2019s budget by \u00a382,000. Naturally it\u2019s probably a smaller number if you\u2019re a first-time buyer on a low income\u2026 and crucially it\u2019s \u201cversus standard mortgage calculators\u201d. But when we tested the claim with a first-time buyer in their 20s and a remortgage-er in their 40s, against a high-street bank\u2019s online calculator, we were pleasantly surprised to see the claim actually hold up \u2013 suggesting \u00a388k and \u00a3105k increases respectively.<\/p><h3>Tembo\u2019s pros and cons<\/h3><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Free to existing savings customers<\/li>\n                                    <li>Free for like-for-like remortgaging<\/li>\n                                    <li>Advice calls with real humans, often same-day appointments<\/li>\n                                    <li>7-day opening hours<\/li>\n                                    <li>Access deals from over 100 lenders<\/li>\n                                    <li>Looks at 25+ specialist schemes<\/li>\n                                    <li>Intuitive app that tracks your progress and goals<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Fees apply unless you're an existing savings customer or remortgaging<\/li>\n                                    <li>Live chat service is automated<\/li>\n                                    <li>No in-person advice<\/li>\n                                    <li>Initial form completion is a little confusing if you\u2019re buying with another person<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h3>Who is Tembo suited to?<\/h3><p>Tembo is best-suited to first-time buyers, especially those who are early on in the process. This is because it offers strong savings rates to help you grow your deposit, and the mortgage advice\/brokering service is fee-free for Tembo savings customers.<\/p><p>While some other brokers try to do everything over live chat, Tembo\u2019s primarily phone-based. So add that to the fact that it helps you consider 25+ schemes to unlock bigger budgets, and we think it\u2019s also well geared up to first-time buyers with more complex cases (which some brokers simply wouldn\u2019t have an appetite for).<\/p><h3>How does Tembo work?<h3><\/h3><\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sml-image-center alignright lazyload\" title=\"Image: Finder\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/tembo_screenshot_add_applicant_or_booster.png\" alt=\"Tembo screenshot showing part of the onboarding form where you add another applicant's details \u2013 if you're buying with somebody else or with support of a 'booster' (typically a family member who helps you put up a larger deposit).\" width=\"250\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/tembo_screenshot_add_applicant_or_booster.png?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/tembo_screenshot_add_applicant_or_booster.png?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/tembo_screenshot_add_applicant_or_booster.png?fit=600 600w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/tembo_screenshot_add_applicant_or_booster.png?fit=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p><p>I already had the Tembo app, so I tested the mortgage broker service to see how it works and how simple it is to use: <\/p><ul><li>First, you need to create an account \u2013 you can login using a magic link which saves you having to remember a password.<\/li><li>Once you\u2019ve done that, you fill in an online application, which takes about 10-15 minutes. This includes available deposit, salary and credit usage, so it\u2019s worth having your information to hand.<\/li><li>Tembo reassures you at the start that there is no credit check involved.<\/li><li>You can specify in the form if you\u2019re interested in exploring specialist schemes (e.g. family-supported Boost options) or just want to see the cheapest deals.<\/li><li>Once the form was completed, I was able to download my Mortgage in Principle instantly and also received it via email.<\/li><li>The live chat is automated, but I was able to book an initial 10-minute chat with a real person at the time of my choosing instead \u2013 plenty of slots available.<\/li><li>The call went ahead as scheduled and mainly involved confirming details, checking my timeline and doing a live affordability check. They clarified I wouldn\u2019t have to pay fees as an existing customer.<\/li><li>The final step is a 45-minute call with an expert adviser \u2013 they recommended I should book this closer to my target purchase date to get the most accurate deals.<\/li><li>At this final stage, I will receive tailored advice, deals to review and need to provide more evidence of my employment and income.<\/li><li>Once I\u2019ve pinpointed a mortgage product with the adviser\u2019s support, the adviser passes me over to a case handler \u2013 but I can still ask to speak with my dedicated adviser whenever.<\/li><li>Tembo keeps scanning market rates while the mortgage is going through. If I could save my changing to a different product and there\u2019s still time to do so, Tembo will proactively suggest this and handle it for me.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"eeQuote box u-rounded--lg

ISA, specialised savings account and mortgage application process. Seeing progress towards my deposit goal is great for motivation and staying on track. However, it only shows my Lifetime ISA in the progress bar rather than counting my HomeSaver pot towards my goal, which is a little confusing. <\/p><p>I found Tembo\u2019s online broker service to be straightforward and informative. The expert on the call was helpful and friendly, and gave me her email in case I had any questions before scheduling my next appointment. <\/p><p>I\u2019m looking to buy with my partner, so did find it confusing that you couldn\u2019t specify multiple buyers until the end of the initial form. It was a little unclear whether the deposit is just your contribution or the total pooled amount.

Plus all the ID verification was done. I went on to have a longer call to select a specific mortgage product. This call was with Jason, who really was a pro and quickly helped me weigh up the current top fixed rates with the top trackers. I landed on a 2yr tracker from Barclays.<\/p><p>Overall I was very happy that I\u2019d done my due diligence with Tembo\u2019s help and ended up with a great deal.

To find out more about how LISAs work, you can read our guide.<\/p><p>They also offer a stocks and shares LISA \u2013 but there is not much choice as your money is invested in a single ESG fund. The platform is more geared towards cash savers. <\/p><h4>HomeSaver<\/h4><p>The HomeSaver is a specialised savings account for aspiring first-time buyers. You can contribute up to \u00a320,000 in total and receive a competitive savings rate on your balance. <\/p><p>It\u2019s made up of a base rate, an introductory fixed bonus, and a HomeSaver bonus, which is paid out if you complete a qualifying mortgage or remortgage with Tembo within 3 years of opening the account. <\/p><h3>Is Tembo safe?<\/h3><p>Your money with Tembo is FSCS protected and it is held with partner banks: Barclays, Bank of Scotland, Aldermore Bank, QNB Bank or Shawbrook Bank. There is a \u00a3120,000 FSCS deposit protection limit per person, per bank.<\/p><p>Tembo is fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, which means it\u2019s bound to the same regulations as all major financial companies across the UK.<\/p><h3>Tembo\u2019s customer reviews<\/h3><p>Tembo fares very well on TrustPilot with score of 4.8 out of 5 from more than 7,000 reviews, rating it \u201cExcellent\u201d (as of July 2026). <\/p><p>Many customer comments cited Tembo\u2019s fast response times and its supportiveness. Negative comments were more on the savings side than the mortgage advice side, but the majority of customers were very happy with their experiences with both aspects.<\/p><h3>Frequently asked questions about Tembo<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">\n\t<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000000\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Can you remortgage with Tembo?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>Although Tembo is aimed at first-time buyers, you can absolutely use Tembo to remortgage, just as you would with other digital mortgage brokers.
