History

In 1898, members of the Parish of All Saints Polish National Catholic Church banded together in the spirit of "neighbors helping neighbors", to form a Building and Loan Association named, "The Savings Bank of the People of All Saints".

By 1911 assets had climbed and the name was changed to Liberty Bank Building and Loan Association. The name was changed again in 1938 to Liberty Savings and Loan Association of Chicago. The bank again changed its name in 1973 to Liberty Savings.

In 1990 the Bank changed its name one last time to Liberty Bank for Savings. Today, with five locations, Liberty Bank is still dedicated to serving the people living and working in its communities. True to the nature of our Founders' intentions, we remain a community-oriented, financial institution providing a safe place for people to invest their savings and a local source for financing their dream of home ownership.

Chairman's Message

With so much uncertainty today, one thing is certain: There is someone out there just waiting to cheat you out of your hard-earned money. Some scams have been around for decades and there are new ones every day. Most people are aware of various scams... "I just found this winning lottery ticket," "I'm calling from Cook County jail, can you dial this number for me?" or "I noticed loose tiles on your roof; I can repair them for a really low price." Most of these scams are designed to gain access to your money. Remember the saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is."

That's why we here at Liberty are always looking for ways to protect you, your money and your identity.

  • Shred Days. To avoid the risk of personal or financial information falling into the wrong hands, each month, June through October, you can bring your unwanted personal documents to a Liberty Bank branch to be shredded FREE of charge. See the scheduled dates in our Summer 2008 issue of The Latest.
  • Bank-by-Phone. Keep track of your account balances and checks paid 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with a phone call.
  • Online Banking. Pay all of your monthly bills with Online Bill Pay, save postage and avoid the uncertainty of mail. You can set up recurring payments and avoid missing payments. Plus, monitor your accounts anytime and catch any unauthorized transactions.
