About the company
Tembo is a new and innovative fintech startup helping a new generation of home-owners get on the property ladder faster and for less, by helping families unlock money from existing property so they can help the next generation buy a home. In its first two years of operations, it will help 1,500 customers buy a home who otherwise couldn't have, and will save its users over £10 million in interest charges. Beyond home ownership, its mission is to transform consumer lending through the power of family, enabling each family to operate as its own private bank, lending and gifting money to help buy a home or car, pay for tuition fees, or fund in-home care for older relatives. It recently closed its seed round from top-tier investors.
