Since 1994, Liberty Bank has been proud to serve local Illinois communities in the Riverbend area. Officially founded in 1993 by a group of local businessmen, Liberty Bank has, since day one, focused on providing the marketplace with an independent, locally owned banking alternative to the large regional banks that began buying the area's local community banks. Today Liberty Bank is the only locally owned and operated community bank in the Alton/Godfrey marketplace.
