Bank of Liberty

Bank of Liberty Logo

The Bank of Liberty is a chain of banks located all over Liberty City during both the 3D Universe and the HD Universe. The bank appears in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V. It is a parody of the Bank of America, as it has a similar name and the same colors. It is also a parody of Sovereign Bank, as the text is the same and the bank also has a logo to the left of the title. The Bank of Liberty owns Lombank and Schlongberg Sachs as their ATMs use a Bank of Liberty interface.

In GTA IV, its main branch is located on Columbus Avenue and Calcium Street in Chinatown, Algonquin. In GTA CW the game booklet shows that Hsin Jaoming and his son Chan may be associates of the bank or have a high role in the bank hierarchy.

Trivia

• The bank's phone number is 808-555-8372.

• The Bank of Liberty branch in Chinatown (GTA IV) appears to be based on a branch of the HSBC bank in Chinatown, Manhattan judging by both location and appearance.
• In GTA IV, there is a small Bank of Liberty located in Northwood, not so far from Luis Lopez's apartment. You can get inside by spawning a NRG 900 and then dismounting the bike. However, the ground is not solid and the player will fall into Blue Hell for about 5 seconds before respawning on the road outside.
• The Bank of Liberty in Chinatown has been robbed twice in the HD Universe Timeline. It was robbed by Niko Bellic, Packie and Gerald McReary and Michael Keane in the GTA IV mission Three Leaf Clover, and by Zhou Ming in the Chinatown Wars missionDragon Haul Z.
