Frequently Asked Questions
Your checking account transactions from the prior month determine your eligibility for relationship benefits, and qualifying transactions are easy to come by. Everyday activities such as bill payments; ATM transactions; check, cash, or direct deposits; point-of-sale transactions; and electronic funds transfers all count toward your monthly eligibility. In fact, the only things that don't count are account-to-account transfers, person-to-person transfers, earned interest, service charges or fees, adjustments, advances, reversals, and refunds.
The more complete your banking relationship, the bigger the benefits. But you don't have to move everything. Many clients start with one or two accounts and add more as they see the value. Our bankers can answer all your questions to help you determine which accounts make sense for your situation and goals.
We work with clients across every level of financial complexity — from straightforward checking and savings accounts to multiple properties, business accounts, trusts, and investment portfolios. Depending on your needs, you may want to work with banker or get started on your own.

$2,000 Value of Relationship Benefits: The value of the Key relationship benefits you may receive when banking with Key varies depending on your eligible account activity. There is no guarantee you will earn any specific value. This calculation is an estimate, provided for illustrative purposes only. The value of any relationship benefits you may receive varies depending on different factors, such factors may include, but are not limited to, your credit score, the terms and availability of the loan product(s) chosen, lender guidelines and changes in market conditions. This calculation is no guarantee that a particular client will receive the $2,000 value. The $2,000 value assumes a typical Key client who maintained their relationship with Key earned the following benefits between 4/30/2025 – 4/30/2026.
Key Cashback® Credit Card: Clients could receive $320 in cashback if they spend $17,000 on their Key Cashback Credit Card.
Key Select Money Market Savings® Account: Clients could receive $1,100 in interest if they maintain a balance of $65,000 with a relationship APY of 1.77% in a Key Select Money Market Savings Account. The Relationship interest rate is variable and can change at any time.
Home Lending: The $500 annual savings is based upon the difference between a mortgage loan which includes a 0.25% relationship interest rate discount and the same mortgage loan which does not include this discount. As an illustrative example, a qualified client could save approximately $500 each year on a $300,000-thirty-year fixed rate conventional conforming mortgage loan, made on an single-family, owner-occupied residence, with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 73%, a 6.329% annual percentage rate (which includes a 0.25% relationship interest rate discount), and with automatic monthly payments from an eligible Key checking account. Your actual annual percentage rate may be higher or lower than the annual percentage rate used in this example, based on information relating to these and other factors unrelated to your Key relationship status (including, but not limited to, FICO score and debt-to-income ratios) as determined after you apply. This is not an offer to lend. Other terms and conditions may apply.
Unsecured Personal Loan: Clients could save $80 on a $14,000 loan with a term of 4 years, 7 months at a 12.15% relationship rate. The 12.15% rate includes the ACH and relationship discount.
Relationship Benefits: To earn relationship benefits you must “Bank with Key”. “Bank with Key” means you: (1) are an owner of a “Relationship Account”, meaning (A) an open “Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account” with five (5) or more Qualifying Transactions posted to a single Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account in a calendar month, which may not be aggregated across other accounts you own, OR (B) an open Key Private Bank Checking or Key Private Bank Personal Checking account, AND (2) are an owner of at least one additional eligible KeyBank non-Checking account (“Plus 1 Account”).
An “Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account” means: any KeyBank consumer checking account designated as a personal checking account by KeyBank, including KeyBank’s Hassle-Free checking account, but excluding a health savings account. “Plus 1 Accounts” include any savings, lending, credit card, or investment product.
“Qualifying Transactions” include, but are not limited to, point of sale transactions, bill payment(s), ATM transactions, check, cash or direct deposits, and electronic funds transfers. Qualifying Transactions exclude adjustments, advances, reversals, refunds, account to account transfers, person-to-person transfers, interest, service charges, and service fees. Qualifying Transactions must be completed at least three (3) business days prior to application to be eligible for inclusion in determining whether you met the Relationship Account portion of the Bank with Key criteria.
Once your Bank with Key status is obtained you must meet the Bank with Key criteria each calendar month to maintain this status. If you fail to meet the Qualifying Transaction requirements of the Relationship Account portion of the Bank with Key criteria you will automatically be enrolled in a grace period for the first month (the “Grace Month”) and will be eligible for relationship benefits throughout the Grace Month. If you fail to meet the Qualifying Transaction requirements of the Relationship Account portion of the Bank with Key criteria during the Grace Month, you will no longer receive relationship benefits in the next calendar month, unless otherwise stated. If you close all of your Relationship Account(s) or your Plus 1 Account you will no longer meet the Bank with Key criteria and will not receive a Grace Month, meaning you will lose relationship benefits starting the calendar month immediately following the month in which you closed your Relationship Account(s) or your Plus 1 Account, unless otherwise stated.
For KeyBank interest bearing checking, money market savings and Cashback Credit Card accounts, application of relationship benefits will be determined based upon whether you have met the Qualifying Transaction requirements of the Relationship Account portion of the Bank with Key criteria for the current calendar month based on the Qualifying Transaction activity in your Relationship Account during the prior calendar month. Other terms, conditions, and/or limitations may apply. See the Interest Bearing Checking and Money Market Savings Account respective footnote below and/or contact KeyBank for more details.
For KeyBank personal loans, application of relationship benefits will be determined based upon whether you own a Relationship Account (as defined and required above) at the time of final approval. Other terms, conditions, and/or limitations may apply. See the respective footnote below and/or contact KeyBank for more details
Interest Bearing Checking and Money Market Savings Account: This Account pays interest at a variable interest rate and rates may vary based on the balance in your Account. We may change the interest rate and APY at our discretion and as often as daily. There are no limits on the amount that the interest rate or APY may change. The interest rate and APY for this Account may vary based on multiple factors including, but not limited to: your overall relationship with the bank as defined by other Accounts you have, the balances in all of your Accounts, Account location, Account usage and other bank services you use. At any time after Account opening, you may be eligible for Relationship interest rates when you Bank with Key. Your Account will begin to earn interest at Relationship interest rate during the first full week of the month following the month you meet these requirements. To find out what the current Relationship interest rates and APYs are, contact your local branch.
Cashback Credit Card: To be eligible for 2% in Cashback Rewards, you must have an eligible open KeyBank consumer checking account (excluding a health savings account) with 5 or more qualifying transactions posted to that same checking account in a calendar month. Qualifying transactions include, but are not limited to, point of sale transactions, bill payment(s), ATM transactions, check, cash, or direct deposits, and electronic funds transfers. Qualifying transactions exclude balance transfers, convenience check transactions, overdraft protection transfers, quasi cash transactions, adjustments, cash advances, reversals, refunds, account to account transfers, person to person transfers, interest, service charges, and fees of any kind. You may also be eligible for 2% with an open eligible Key Private Bank checking account. On the fourth business day of each month (“Evaluation Date”), we will determine whether you are entitled to earn 2% cashback by meeting the eligibility criteria during the prior month. Your 2% earnings will start on this date and apply until your next monthly evaluation (on the fourth business day of the following calendar month). New card accounts will receive at least a full calendar month at the 2% cashback rate prior to the first Evaluation Date. You will receive a grace period for the first month in which you do not meet the eligibility criteria. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria during the grace period, your rate for the month immediately following the grace period will be 1%, beginning on the Evaluation Date. Returns will reduce your cashback balance. See the Key Cashback® Credit Card Terms & Conditions for full details, which are subject to change and may be found at www.key.com/personal/credit-cards/key-cashback-terms-conditions.html.
Personal Lending: The quoted Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) includes a 0.25% interest rate discount for electing, prior to loan account closing, to have the monthly payment automatically deducted from a KeyBank checking account (“Auto-Pay”). Standard checking account service charges may apply. If you choose not to enroll in Auto-Pay, the associated discount will not be applied.
The Auto-Pay interest rate discount may be combined with the KeyBank Relationship Banking discount. To receive relationship benefits on a new KeyBank personal loan, which provides a 0.75% interest rate discount, you must have owned a Relationship Account (as defined and required in the above Relationship Benefits footnote) at any time during the loan application process. The 0.75% interest rate discount is permanent and will be reflected in the interest rate on the Promissory Note.
Home Lending: For KeyBank Home Lending accounts, to receive relationship benefits on a new KeyBank mortgage loan or home equity line of credit (“HELOC”), which provides a 0.25% interest rate reduction, you must have owned a Relationship Account at any time during the loan application process, but no later than prior to the issuance of your mortgage Closing Disclosure (for residential mortgage) or prior to the closing of your HELOC. This Interest rate reduction is available on new KeyBank mortgage loan and HELOC applications only.
The mortgage “Closing Disclosure” is a standardized document required by regulation, which provides a summary of the final terms and closing costs of your mortgage loan, including the loan amount, interest rate, monthly payments, and closing costs. The mortgage Closing Disclosure is to be provided no later than three (3) business days before the closing of your mortgage.
As an alternative to the relationship benefit, you may obtain a 0.25% interest rate reduction if you complete and submit, no later than prior to the issuance of your mortgage Closing Disclosure (for residential mortgage) or prior to the closing of your HELOC, the Monthly Automatic Payment form to have your recurring payment for your KeyBank mortgage loan or HELOC automatically deducted from an “Eligible KeyBank Consumer Checking Account”. Refer to the Monthly Automatic Payment form for more details.
For fixed-rate mortgages, the 0.25% interest rate reduction will be reflected in the interest rate on the Promissory Note. For adjustable-rate mortgages (“ARMs”), the 0.25% interest rate reduction will apply to the initial fixed interest rate period and will be reflected in the maximum amount the interest rate can increase of the term of the loan, subject to the minimum interest rate that may be charged per the terms of the Promissory Note or Agreement. For HELOCs, the 0.25% interest rate reduction will be applied to the margin, thereby reducing the applicable variable annual percentage rate (total annual percentage rate consisting of the applicable index value plus margin value). Please note that, if the Monthly Automatic Payment form or relationship benefit requirements are not satisfied before the issuance of your mortgage Closing Disclosure (for residential mortgage) or prior to the closing of your HELOC, your closing may be delayed and any associated rate discount may be removed, as these requirements are tied to the eligibility for an interest rate discount.
The 0.25% interest rate reduction may not be combined with certain other discounts or promotions and may not be available for all home lending products. Other terms, conditions, and/or limitations may apply. Contact KeyBank Home Lending for more details.
