Our Verdict
Need to know if it’s a hard or soft pull. This can be opened nationwide but personally I can’t see this rate lasting too long if that’s the case. We will add this to the best high yield savings accounts.
Its Soft Pull. now they change to 2.5 %
We just got an email that the rate will go down to 2.5% as of August 20th

Can any new members out there verify whether it is hard pull or soft pull?
The customer service respond is slow as hell. I still haven’t received my debit card even though I opened the checking early this month. I have no idea what they doing.
Any updates?
I finally received the mail, it took a really long time.
How long did it take?
From the time I applied to finally got it done, like 4 weeks or so.
I applied for bank of Denver and Liberty last night. My Liberty account was opened this morning. No HP, emails, or Skype needed
You must have a low amount of Chex inquiries.
I haven’t looked but I haven’t opened any new accounts in over a year. BofD account was opened shortly after. They only requested me to reply to verify identify/reply with copy of license.
You were probably like a unicorn to them so that’s why they approved you so quickly.
What kind of APY is Liberty getting? Nationwide acceptance?
Oh nice, so this is nationwide or regional? Want to refer me?
Liberty Financial is a division of Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union which has nothing to do with Liberty Savings Bank.
Applied on July 28 and declined due to Chex (received rejection email).
Approved back in may. Onboarding process was manual — had to send some forms back via snail mail.
I was approved and it took a week or two for the debit card to get mailed to me but I’ve been getting my 3% APY consistently since then.
Sun 7/12 – Applied on-line. Authorized $50 deposit via external transfer.
Mon 7/13 – Received email confirmation (Junk mail) that my application had been approved and instruction on next steps. Replied with a color image of my driver’s license.
Fri 7/17 – Received signature card and other documents along with a SASE in the mail. Signed, scanned and returned them via email then dropped originals in the mailbox.
Mon 7/20 – Received credentials for on-line access.
Smooth process so far. The deposit still has not been taken out of my account. I asked about how to set up external accounts. This cannot be done at this time so I just added this account to my other banks to be able to make transfers in and out. More to follow.
