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.
