Introducing the new version of the Tembo app
Since we acquired Nude back in February 2024, our product and tech teams have been working hard behind the scenes on what’s coming next for our award-winning savings app. Tembo has always prioritised simplicity and clarity, and with this redesign, we're taking these values to the next level.
Our dedicated product and tech teams have been working tirelessly to ensure the app not only retains its unique charm but also aligns seamlessly with the Tembo brand and vision. And now, we're thrilled to be finally unveiling a fresh new look to make saving towards those big life goals even easier.
At Tembo, our mission is to empower users to reach those big life milestones with the help of our cutting-edge smart tech and tools. This latest app update reflects our commitment to continually enhancing user experience, ensuring that everyone can achieve their financial goals.

What's new in the Tembo app?
Here's a sneak peek into some of our favourite new features:
1. A revamped home screen
The newly designed home screen provides all the essential account information you need in a quick glance:
- Clearer account balance: Instantly see where you stand as soon as you open the app.
- Easy top-ups: Add funds to your account in just a few taps
- Manage direct debits: Manage your payments with a single tap.
- Track your ISA allowances with ease: The new "My Allowances" section ensures you're making the most of your tax benefits, preventing any missed opportunities for free money or to max out your ISA allowances for this tax year.
Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future
2. Seamless transfers

Boost your savings by switching to Tembo in just 5-minutes. Our Cash Lifetime ISA offers the market-leading rate of 4.55% AER (variable), helping you save for your first home or retirement faster.
When considering opening a LISA, remember that withdrawals for any purpose other than buying a first home or for retirement will incur a 25% government penalty, meaning you may get back less than you paid in.
3. Redesigned Mortgage tab
If you don’t know already, Tembo is a multi-award winning mortgage broker - we’ve helped thousands get on the property ladder, often against the odds. Our mortgage tab shows your maximum buying budget in a matter of seconds, but it’s not just your typical mortgage calculator.
At Tembo, we specialise in maximising affordability meaning you’ll get results for standard mortgages but also budget-boosting schemes too. In fact, on average our customers boost their budget by £82,000! Over half of our savers use the mortgage tab on the app, so we’ve kept it, but with an up-to-date look and feel to match our new design.
4. Updated Learn tab
Our learn tab is the place to get educated on all things mortgages and savings. We’ve now added new elements to make it even better, including:
- A new search bar for when you need to find the answer to something really specific
- Mortgage tools to help you get to grips with your mortgage affordability
- Even more handy guides for you to expand your financial knowledge
