Security Center

Your Protections

We use multiple tools to provide a high level of technological security when handling your online transactions:

• Extended Validation Secure Socket Layers (EV SSL) – Liberty Bank uses EV SSL certificates to help you recognize when you are at the legitimate libertybank.com and not a “spoofed” site created by fraudsters for purposes of illegally obtaining your personal information. EV SSL signifies that Liberty Bank has passed a rigorous identity authentication process that triggers the browser address bar to display https:// in the url.
• Online Banking Security Program – Liberty uses behavior-based anomaly detection software to proactively prevent consumer and commercial fraud. The solutions enable the bank to halt the processing of suspicious online bill payments and debit card transactions until they have been reviewed by fraud specialists to determine if the transactions are legitimate. Online banking authentication uses challenge questions/answers to identify you and prevent unauthorized access to your information. Registering the computer(s) you normally use to access your information provides additional security to verify your identity.

Your Security

• Use Text alerts & paperless statements – Take advantage of these complimentary services to help safeguard your accounts. Message and data rates may apply for text alerts.
• Know how we contact you – Liberty Bank for Savings will NEVER contact you by phone, by email, or by text message requesting personal information including account numbers, passwords, personal identification information or any other confidential customer information.
• Secure your credentials – Never share your Access ID, Password, or answers to challenge questions with anyone. Create passwords that are unique and difficult to guess. Do not re-use the same password for multiple sites. Create a new password for your Liberty Bank online access that differs from passwords used for email access or other online websites.
