Tembo

edited 14 July 2025 at 9:27AM in ISAs & tax-free savings
Tembo don't allow connections between themselves and Barclays Bank, so not letting me set up a new ISA and transferring a maturing Barclays ISA to them. The only way I can think of to get round this is to open an ISA with a Bank they do allow connections and then when that's done transfer yet again to Tembo. Any other ideas?

    They do allow connections to Barclays, but current account not savings. The problem will be your ISA as those are paused for Barclays, so might have to transfer somewhere in between 
  • I have just looked at the Tembo site and they have now changed the Barclays connection to acceptance.

    Was going to post asking about people's experiences of using them re ISAs so here I am! Charter are dropping their rate so I have about £52000 to transfer elsewhere - any issues of note with them? Disappointing to see that they seem to have no phone customer service.
  • I haven't been able to open an account with Tembo but I have dealt with Charter in the past and found them easy to deal with.

    Charter have been great. 
  • Which ISA account is Charter decreasing the rate for and what is the effective date?
