How easy is it to transfer my Lifetime ISA to Tembo?
Very! In fact, it only takes five minutes. All you have to do is download our app, and sign up. Plus, we’ll have your money transferred in as little as 4 weeks. Once you’re all set up, you can manage your account all from the app and keep track of your house fund.
What’s the 12-month Lifetime ISA rule?
You have to have your Lifetime ISA open for at least 12 months after your first payment into the account to use it to buy a property. However, this 12-month period doesn’t reset if you change provider, rather it’s based on when you first opened your original Lifetime ISA. So if you opened an account 10-months ago, and you transfer to Tembo, you’ll only need to wait another 2-months until you can withdraw the funds penalty-free.
Can I transfer a Help to Buy ISA to a Lifetime ISA?
Yes, you can transfer all of your Help to Buy ISA savings to a Lifetime ISA, or just some of the funds - as long as you don’t transfer more than your £4,000 annual LISA allowance during one tax year. If you’ve already paid into your LISA this tax year, you can only transfer enough to take you up to the remainder of your £4,000 allowance. Once the next tax year starts, you can transfer another £4,000.
How long will it take for my Lifetime ISA to transfer?
Once you’ve downloaded the app and submitted your details, most transfers are completed in as little as 4-weeks. We’ll email you to let you know when your transfer is complete.
