Our Expert Opinion on Tembo Cash Lifetime ISA

Tembo is a mortgage broker, which is why I recommend being slightly careful when opening a savings account with them. Their primary objective is to sell mortgages and savings accounts with attractive rates are a great way into the funnel. That being said, Tembo's Cash Lifetime ISA is a very competitive savings account with an attractive interest rate. If you want to withdraw your savings more than once, chose a different provider.
