Cash ISAs: The Best Currently Available List

Well I just opened a Tembo Cash ISA, but attempting a deposit into it seems to just get you into an infinite loop, so I'm distinctly unimpressed so far.

I have opened a Tembo Cash ISA account but have not yet made a deposit.

Could this 'infinite loop' be caused by an overload of applicants?

I've just initiated a transfer from my Trading 212 ISA to Tembo.

So anyone thinking of opening one, hold off for a week or so as I'm sure they'll hike the rates just as soon as mine is open (again - had it with T212, Moneybox amongst others).

I have no idea, but it looks more like a failure of open banking to me. Either way I've messaged them and am awaiting a response.

I own both Tembo LISA and cash ISA and have bad no issues paying in.

Does anyone know if the Tembo Cash ISA is a Flexible Cash ISA? I read that you can withdraw funds but not if you can replace those withdrawn funds. Thanks.

No, from their FAQ

Is the Tembo Cash ISA flexible?

No, the Tembo Cash ISA is not a flexible ISA.
This means that while you can make unlimited withdrawals from your account, if you withdraw funds and deposit them into an ISA again (with us or another provider) at a later date, the ‘same’ money could be counted twice towards your annual £20,000 ISA limit.

I've not got as far as even attempting to pay in, as I seem unable to connect my bank account to Tembo.

I've just been looking for info on the Tembo website for terms and conditions for it's cash ISA. I couldn't find any T&C's but Its a very confusing site with contradictions on where your money is actually held. I stumbled across this info which I have not seen mentioned before - is this something to be worried about?

Trading 212 and Chip are really fighting it out.

Trading 212 - 5.25% for 3 months, then 4.5%
Chip - 5.03% for 3 months, then 4.32%
