About the company
Tembo is making the dream of ownership possible for a new generation of home buyers. We are a disruptive, award winning mortgage broker powered by a proprietary technology platform which aggregates every mainstream and niche lender in the UK - with the result often getting the buyer years ahead of the alternative.
We recently acquired savings company Nude Finance – now Tembo Savings – to help us capture customers earlier in their home buying journey, nurture them through saving for a deposit and ultimately to match them with the best mortgage product to get them onto the ladder more quickly.
We’re a mission centric organization that holds our values close:
* Find a way - representing our desire to innovate and also leave no stone unturned to help find a customer a way to get on the ladder
* It's all about the people - customers, colleagues, partners - we’re all human and without them we are nothing
* If you don’t like it change it - as a startup we’re constantly listening to every source of data and evolving, every opinion counts
We are rated 4.9* on Trustpilot with every single customer review celebrated:

We are well funded by Goodeater Capital, Aviva, McPike Family Global Office, Ascension, Love Ventures as well as a suite of ethical backers such as Fair by Design, Barrow Cadbury, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Big Society Capital.
