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

As news of the financial industry continues to become more tumultuous every day, community banks, and Liberty Bank especially, remain solid. It can be said that one of the many reasons community banks have remained stead-fast is that they focus on cultivating relationships, and take a more personal approach to service.

That is certainly true at Liberty Bank for Savings. As we celebrate our 112th anniversary this year we also celebrate the communities we serve and the businesses, organizations and families that live and do business in those communities.

Creating relationships with customers keeps community banks strong in days when the level of unrest throughout the entire financial industry is so high, and when grass-roots movements, such as the recent “Move Your Money” campaign, to leave the big banks are popping up in the news.

Liberty Bank customers are loyal, and for good reason. They like that we have a family feel and staff that knows them personally. It creates a tangible and solid reality for customers in a world where financial services can be downright frightening.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Officers and Employees at Liberty Bank, I would like to say thank you for choosing Liberty Bank for your banking needs. I hope that we will continue to be your banking choice and that you will refer your family and friends to join our family as well.
