Let's talk overdrafts
With Key Coverage Zone®2, if the unexpected happens and your account’s overdrawn by $20 or less at the end of the day, you won’t see an overdraft fee from KeyBank.

There is no KeyBank fee if you use another bank’s ATM. However, a fee may be charged by the bank that owns the ATM. This fee, as well as any additional non-KeyBank charges or surcharges, will be included with the total withdrawal transaction amount. Your account will receive a refund of other bank's ATM cash withdrawal surcharges when the withdrawals are made with any KeyBank Debit Mastercard®. The surcharge refund will be credited to your account at statement cycle and will not exceed a total refund of $6.00 per statement cycle. If you close your account or change your account type before the end of the statement cycle, other bank’s ATM cash withdrawal surcharges will not be reimbursed.

Overdraft Item Charges are $20 per item. Charges apply to transactions created by check, in-person withdrawal, recurring debit card transactions, or other electronic means. Overdraft charges will not be imposed on ATM withdrawals or one-time debit card items unless the customer has opted in authorizing Key to pay these items into overdraft and assess a charge. You agree to pay us the full amount of any overdraft on your Account immediately upon demand, together with any additional charges we assess. KeyBank’s approval of overdrafts is a discretionary courtesy. For Consumer accounts: No charges will be assessed when the account is overdrawn twenty ($20) dollars or less at the end of the day. Overdraft charges are assessed on up to three (3) items per day, with the maximum not to exceed $60 per day per account. Overdraft charges may not post on the same day as the transaction which triggers the fee(s). There is a cap of 20 assessed overdraft charges within a monthly statement period. If at the end of the day, your account’s overdrawn available balance is more than $20 for 5 consecutive business days, an additional $20 Recurring Overdraft Service Charge will be assessed.
