Tembo launches market-leading 5.5% Cash ISA for homebuyers and remortgagers

New HomeSaver® Cash ISA offers a boosted 5.5% AER to customers who buy, move or remortgage through Tembo

• New Cash ISA offers a market-leading 5.5% AER (variable), including a conditional mortgage bonus, for savers planning to buy their first home, move or remortgage
• A saver with a £30,000 balance could earn more than £250 extra interest over one year compared with the next best rate currently available
• No cap on transfers-in or existing ISA balances, giving customers the opportunity to earn the boosted rate on larger sums

LONDON, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --Tembo, the award-winning mortgage and savings platform, has launched its HomeSaver Cash ISA®, offering a market-leading 5.5% AER (variable) to savers who go on to buy, move home or remortgage through Tembo.

The account combines a 2.8% AER variable base rate with a 2.7% AER fixed conditional HomeSaver bonus, payable after 12 months when the customer completes a mortgage through Tembo within three years of opening the account.

Based on a £30,000 balance held for one year, Tembo calculates that savers could earn more than £250 in additional interest compared with the next best Cash ISA rate currently available.*

Unlike many headline savings deals, there is no cap on ISA transfers-in or existing ISA balances, meaning customers transferring Cash ISA savings built up over previous tax years can earn the boosted rate on a substantially larger balance than just the current annual ISA allowance.

Customers also have unlimited access to their savings without penalties.

Richard Dana, founder and CEO of Tembo, said: "Getting the best possible return on your savings can make a real difference when buying a new home. Our HomeSaver® Cash ISA is designed to make your money work harder, while also giving customers support when they're ready to make their plans a reality. Savers get a competitive tax-free return, complete flexibility over their money and access to Tembo's award-winning mortgage advice when they're ready to buy, move or remortgage."

How the Tembo HomeSaver Cash ISA® works

Customers can open an account and deposit up to their remaining annual ISA allowance, or transfer existing Cash ISA balances held elsewhere.

They earn a 2.8% AER variable base rate, paid monthly, while building a 2.7% AER fixed (conditional) HomeSaver bonus over 12 months.

Customers who complete a purchase, home move or remortgage using Tembo's award-winning mortgage service within three years of opening the account qualify for the bonus, which is paid into their Cash ISA after the 12-month bonus period.

The account offers unlimited withdrawals without penalties, while Tembo's mortgage advice is fee-free.

Eligible deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £120,000 per person, per authorised firm.
