Here’s some important information to help you access all of your member-only benefits.

A credit union is a special type of financial institution. It’s one that’s owned and democratically controlled by the members it serves—not by stockholders. Credit unions aren’t built for profits, they’re built to give members the best deal possible. And earnings aren’t sent to Wall Street, they’re returned to members in the form of more generous interest rates and better services. We always put members first, giving them the power to make better financial decisions and the tools they need to reach their goals.

Like owners of other businesses, credit union members elect the board of directors who oversee the institution. This ownership structure helps ensure that the credit union is focused on one thing only: providing the best possible value to its members. A healthy credit union earns money, but their earnings aren’t distributed to corporate shareholders—because there are none. Instead, credit union’s earnings are returned to members in the form of higher interest on deposit accounts, lower interest rates on loans, and enhancements to other credit union services.

General Information

Q. What kinds of products and services does a credit union offer? Liberty Savings FCU offers a wide variety of deposit, insurance and loan products to our members. From youth accounts to savings accounts to checking products; we offer money market accounts, vacation and holiday accounts, Certificates of Deposit (CD), safety deposit boxes, lines of credit and loans of all types. Your funds are accessible to you in-person at our service centers, online and via phone. Additionally, we offer members discounts on Sprint, Aflac Insurance products and many more. For a more extensive list, please visit the Home page of our website.

Q. Can I apply for a loan or use other credit union services without having an account?At the credit union we believe that an invested member holds the best interest of the credit union family at heart. In order to be a “member-owner”, all members must open a Savings account and maintain no less than $25.00 in the account. With the Share Savings account open the member may enjoy all credit union services available.

Q. How soon after opening my account may I apply for a loan? There is no waiting period required. As soon as the $25 initial deposit and $10 one-time, membership fee is realized, the member may apply for a loan.

Q. What must I do to apply for a loan? Loan applications may be downloaded and printed from the Home page of our website or picked up at one of our service centers. (At this time we do not offer an online application process.) Applying in person is always the most personal form of application however; loan applications are also received via mail. Mail to Liberty Savings Federal Credit Union, 666 Newark Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07306, ATTENTION: Branch Manager. Please have copies of the applicant’s two most recent pay stubs attached to the application (if you have a co-applicant, please also attach copies of their documentation). Be sure to sign the application and have a valid phone number at which we can contact you with further questions or to set up a follow up appointment.

Q. Can I pay bills from my account online? Yes. You can set up automatic BillPay once you are registered online for LibertyLink Online Banking. Keep in mind that if you authorize a third party to access your account for the purpose of payment and at any time wish to stop this arrangement, you must contact the third party. The credit union has no authorization to act on your behalf in these types of agreements.

ATMs & Shared Branching Services

Q. How do I find a Liberty Savings FCU ATM or avoid fees at other ATMs? There are no ATM fees when you use your Liberty Savings FCU ATM or Visa Check Card at a Liberty Savings FCU ATM or any Co-Op or Allpoint Network Machines. To locate ATMs in the Co-Op and Allpoint networks, use the link on the Home page of our website under locations and hours. The Co-op and Allpoint symbols are also located on the reverse side of your ATM and/or Visa Check Card and can be found on any participating ATM.

Q. What do I do if I’m far away from a Liberty Savings FCU branch and I need to make a transaction? Liberty Savings FCU is part of a larger network of federal credit unions throughout the United States. If you need to make a transaction on one of your accounts at a service center but are not near one of our three offices at the time, finding a Shared Branch Service Center is only a click away. From our Home page select ‘Locations and Hours’ and then, ‘Find a Shared Branch Service Center’. A screen will populate with a form for your current location’s address. Fill out the fields and hit submit. With your Liberty Savings FCU account number and your picture ID, you can go to a listed Shared Branch service center and make deposits, withdrawals and/or payment to your Visa card or loans as easily as if you were standing in a Liberty Saving’s FCU lobby.

Q. Why does it seem like there’s a difference between the balance I get at the ATM or on LibertyLink and what is available for me to withdraw or spend? Financial institutions use the terms “actual balance” and “available balance” to describe the status of funds in an account. The actual balance on your account is the total amount of money you have in the account at that given moment. The available balance is the difference between your actual balance and any pending transactions that haven’t posted yet. It’s a safeguard to keep you from over-drafting your account.

Q. I am retiring. Do I have to close out my credit union account since I am leaving my place of employment? My family moved out of Hudson County and the credit union is too far away now. How can I keep my account open? Retiring from your job or profession or moving out of Hudson County doesn’t have to mean the end of your financial relationship with Liberty Savings FCU. If you are retiring, consider the tremendous benefits of lower rates and fees that will help you manage your retirement budget. Moving out of Hudson County? With over 55,000 ATMs and 5,075 Shared Branch locations nationwide your ability to access your money is always right around the corner.

We strongly encourage our members to keep their passwords and security question answers confidential and in a secure location.
