Branch and service hours
We continue to encourage remote banking
The best course of action is to limit your public interactions until this threat subsides. Liberty Bay has several remote banking options that we recommend using as much as possible:
- Online and mobile banking are available 24/7 and allow you to view your accounts, transfer money, deposit checks, and pay bills. If you haven’t enrolled in Online and Mobile Banking, now would be a perfect time.
- Phone banking through MoneyLine by calling (617) 439-6565 or toll free at (800) 638-8529.
- Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs) are located at our Braintree, Hingham and Woburn Branches. Braintree and Hingham branches have drive-up ITMs for your convenience.
- Drive-up teller windows are available at our Hingham and Scituate branches.
- Our Debit/ATM cards can be used to access cash, make deposits or check your balance at an ATM. Liberty Bay belongs to a network of over 100,000 surcharge-free ATMs. Find your nearest ATM here.
- Our Member Service Center is here to assist you during regular business hours by calling (617) 439-6500. You may also contact them via secure chat or email through Online Banking.
Helpful Resources & Information
Members experiencing financial hardship
We're here to help. Liberty Bay's Loan Hardship Assistance Program is offering our members who are experiencing hardship a variety of solutions to help you and your family stay on track with your finances.
Your deposits are safe at Liberty Bay
Liberty Bay Credit Union provides both NCUA and MSIC insurance, so your deposits with us are safe, secure, and 100% insured - regardless of what's happening in the markets.
Have you applied or plan on applying for a home loan?
Given recent market volatility, Liberty Bay's Mortgage Department has been working diligently to process a higher volume of applications. We are asking all who have applied, or plan to apply for a home loan through Liberty Bay to please be patient as we continue to review and service each application.
Beware of COVID-19 scams and fraud
While everyone is focusing on social distancing and the spread of the coronavirus, scammers are taking advantage of the situation to steal personal and financial information. Remember, Liberty Bay Credit Union will never contact you by phone, email or text to ask you to update your account information or to provide your account number, Personal Identification Number (PIN), Debit or Credit Card Number, password or Social Security Number.
If you see something that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be diligent. Fraudsters rely on a sense of urgency for you to make a quick decision that you will regret. Pause, take a breath and think before you click on an email or text or provide information over the phone. Always verify independently with your financial institution by calling them on the number that you know.
