Borrower Tips

Cosigner – For many borrowers, a cosigner can increase the likelihood of getting approved for a loan.

Repayment – There are no penalties to early payment. By paying more while you're in school, you can reduce your total cost over the life of your loan.

Liberty Bank questions, answered.

What is the difference between a private student loan and a federal student loan?

Federal student loans are provided by the government and offer a limited amount of funding to help cover a student's educational expenses. After using federal aid, scholarships, and grants, there might still be a remaining gap in the cost of education. Private student loans, which are obtained from banks or credit unions, are designed to fill this gap.

How does the application process work?

At Liberty Bank, we value your time and understand the importance of starting your pilot training promptly. Our streamlined application process makes it easy to apply for a loan. After you complete your loan application, you'll need to provide essential documents to our loan team. Once your application is reviewed and approved, we will request that your school certifies your acceptance into the program and the requested loan amount. Once certified, we will send you the loan details for your review and approval. Once you've accepted the loan terms, we will disburse the funds directly to your school.

What is cost of attendance?

The cost of attendance is the total expense for attending school for one year. This includes tuition, fees, books, meals, equipment, and supplies. Your school will need to check how much you're borrowing to make sure it's not more than the cost of attendance.

What is APR?

APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate and is the yearly percentage cost of your interest rate. APR is typically a more comprehensive measure than your interest rate as it includes any associated fees and reflects the overall cost of your loan at a yearly rate.

How will I know my interest rate?

Once you have completed the application process, we will provide you your loan details, including the interest rate and terms for your loan.

What is a cosigner?

A cosigner is a parent, guardian, or other adult who assumes liability for the payment of the loan and becomes legally obligated to ensure the loan repayment.

Do I need to make payments while I am in school?

Yes. Liberty Bank provides you with multiple repayment options during the first three years of the loan term. Each month you may pay total accrued interest on the disbursed loan amount, total accrued interest on the disbursed loan amount plus any amount of outstanding principal, or total accrued interest and principal in accordance with your amortized schedule.

How long will it take to repay my loan?

Your maximum loan term will be provided in your promissory note.

Are there prepayment fees?

There are no prepayment fees.

Is my personal and private information secure?

Your personal and private information is well-protected with Liberty Bank. We ensure robust data security by encrypting and safeguarding data storage and transmission. We utilize comprehensive physical, procedural, and technical measures to secure your information from unauthorized access, accidental loss, and potential damage.
