Need to open a KeyBank account to get started?
Yes, you can add EasyUp to any personal Key checking and savings account (except Health Savings Accounts). At this time, you may only have EasyUp on one set of accounts.
Not currently. EasyUp is for personal accounts only.
Yes. This is your money and you can move it from your savings account at any time. You can also, at anytime, raise or lower the amount of money you transfer with every debit card purchase. In addition, you can easily pay down debt by setting up automatic monthly payments from your savings account to a company you choose.
We’ve built in several protections to help avoid overdrafts. We will only process the EasyUp transfer for that day if the available balance in your checking account as of the cutoff time is at least fifty dollars ($50.00) plus the amount of your scheduled daily transfer. We also check to make sure the available balance in your savings account is enough to make the monthly debt payment. We will not make the debt payment if there are not sufficient funds. Plus, if EasyUp were to overdraw your account, you would not be charged an overdraft fee.
EasyUp shows posted transactions only, and some debit card transactions can take a few days to post to your account. Also, some stores process purchases in batches as they ship. When your purchase does post to your account, you’ll see that money was transferred to your savings account. The same balance requirements (minimum of $50 plus the EasyUp transfer amount) apply in this case.
Yes. You can easily turn EasyUp on and off in online and mobile banking’s EasyUp overview dashboard. That’s also where you can raise or lower the amount of money you want transferred with each debit card purchase. We check to see if EasyUp is active, as well as the transfer amount, at the end of every business day (11:59 p.m. ET).
If you pause EasyUp after that, and then a purchase posts to your account, your transfer may be processed. If you resume EasyUp before 11:59 p.m. on any given day, any transactions posting in that night’s batch will move money to your savings account. If it’s after 11:59 p.m., transfers would begin the next day.
Just sign on to online and mobile banking, select EasyUp from the account details section and set up the new set of accounts.
It’s easy to add automatic monthly debt payments. Once you have added EasyUp to your checking and savings accounts, you can set up payments and choose the debt that you wish to pay. EasyUp daily transfers will accumulate in your savings account until 11:59 p.m. ET on the last business day of the month and are sent to the company of your choice on the third day of the next month. To make sure your debt payment is sent, you must set up your payment (select a company) by 11:59 p.m. on the last business day of the month.
Payments need to be set up and active by 11:59 p.m. ET on the last business day of the month in order for the payment to go out on the third business day of the next month. The debt you’re paying can change until the third business day, but if it’s not set up, and EasyUp is active, by the end of the month, the payment won’t be sent.
Yes. You can easily turn your monthly debt payments on and off anytime in online and mobile banking’s EasyUp overview dashboard. If paused on the last business day of the month, no payments will go out on the third day of the following month.

Yes. You can easily choose a different company to send your debt payments to in online and mobile banking’s EasyUp overview dashboard. To have your selection be effective for the next payment day, change your company by 11:59 p.m. ET on the third business day of the month (payment day). For example, payments must be set up and active by the last business day of May for the payment to go out on the third business day of June. Once set up, the payment will continue to be made monthly unless you pause or unenroll.
You can pay most debt from most major credit providers. When you enroll, you’ll see a list of companies to search. Most payments post quickly. However, EasyUp mortgage payments may take a longer period of time to post, as a full mortgage payment must be accumulated before posting can occur. Payments made with EasyUp aren’t a substitute for regularly scheduled payments. They may be subject to the terms of your credit agreement and handled differently by each company.
