In 1972, Liberty Bank and Trust Company was chartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a focus on service, integrity, and a sincere interest in community and business development. Five decades later, Liberty Bank and Trust has over $1 billion in assets and branches in eleven states, making it one of the largest African-American–owned financial institutions in the United States. Liberty Bank is passionate about helping more people achieve financial freedom — the freedom you have as an individual to attain your goals, as a business to achieve your idea of success, or even as a community that is gathering strength to reach its full potential.
