Action Items BEFORE Conversion

  • If you use Quicken or QuickBooks, we encourage you to download from your Liberty Bank account before conversion in order to get the latest transactions.  A history of 60 days will be converting from our existing system, but if you have not downloaded recently, you could miss transactions by not creating a download now. (Instructions below)
  • Please make sure you finish any Online Banking tasks (transfers, check your balance, Bill Pay etc.) before we turn off the system for our conversion on Friday, June 19th at 1:00pm.  Pending scheduled transfers may not take place, make sure to confirm the setting in the new system.
  • If you are a consumer, when you login for the first time, your temporary passcode will include the last 4 digits of your social security number.
  • If you are a business, when you login for the first time, your temporary passcode will include the last 4 digits of your social security number, or, if you initially entered your business tax id, it will be the last 4 digits of that number.  To find which tax id was used, go to My Settings at the top right of the screen.
