We're your neighbor, mortgage lender, and personal banking resource. Liberty Bank’s origin dates back to 1898 when members of a neighborhood church on Chicago’s north side came together to form a mutual savings institution committed to "neighbors helping neighbors." The community commitment is more than an advertising slogan; it’s the legal framework behind its mutual charter. Unlike most financial institutions, the bank has no stockholders; profits are returned to account holders and re-invested in services. During its 115-year history, Liberty Bank has weathered wars, depressions and stock market crashes to earn its ranking as one of the strongest banks in the country.
