The KeyBank Relationship Rate and the special mortgage rate for KeyBank clients are different, and clients can receive both.
To qualify for the special .25% interest rate discount on mortgages, you must set up automatic payments from an eligible KeyBank checking account.
You’ll keep getting your relationship rate for as long as you have the qualifying accounts.
Should you stop meeting the requirements, your interest rate will revert to the current variable interest rate in effect at the time, and that rate will be applied during the first full week of the following month.
Your account will begin to earn interest at the KeyBank Relationship Rate during the first full week of the month following the month you meet these requirements. If you were earning interest at a KeyBank Relationship Rate, then fail to meet one of the requirements, your interest rate will revert to the current variable interest rate in effect at that time during the first full week of the following month.
For accounts open for fewer than three months, to be engaged means you have made an average of one deposit and eight withdrawals since the account was opened.
KeyBank Health Savings Account and the Key Secured Credit Card® do not qualify as full relationship accounts.
