Payment research for this provider
The compiled notes distinguish confirmed channels from details the public material did not expose. Fields containing only an unavailable-information marker are grouped in the research record below.
- Phone payment number
- 1-877-426-6999, 24/7 emergency and automated payment line; customers select the payment option and are redirected to the secure payment line. TDD: 711.
- Pay-by-text
- My Account supports email or text notification when a bill is available, and paperless customers can manage notification preferences. The reviewed Liberty pages do not publish a text-to-pay keyword or SMS payment authorization sequence.
- Mail-in payment address
- Liberty - New York, P.O. Box 75463, Chicago, IL 60675-5463. Make checks payable to Liberty and include the payment stub. Customers using bank bill pay must verify this exact address because misdirected payments can be returned and become late.
- In-person payment
- Liberty uses authorized payment agents across New York, including participating Walmarts and check-cashing locations; the list changes and customers should verify acceptance before visiting. The public page states authorized locations can be fee-free when the biller and state are selected correctly. The Merrick correspondence address is Liberty, 60 Brooklyn Avenue, Merrick, NY 11566, but the reviewed page does not identify it as a public walk-in payment counter or publish office hours.
- Digital payment methods
- My Account fee-free checking-account payment and automatic payments; one-time online or telephone payment by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, or debit card; paperless billing; and bank-account payment arrangements. Liberty’s current page does not confirm Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- Online convenience fees
- $1.75 processing fee for one-time credit/debit card payments online or through the 24/7 phone payment line. One-time checking-account payment through My Account and automatic bank payments are free.
