Once they have that, the next product they open (that is not a checking account) comes with relationship benefits. Key's enhanced relationship program is unique compared to others, offering one definition to unlock benefits across the consumer product suite. Additional benefits will be introduced for the program later this year, including better rates for personal loan and home lending products. In May, Key introduced Key Select Checking, a best-in-class and high reward checking solution that awards clients with multiple benefits, such as an annual cash bonus. To qualify for the annual $100 cash bonus, a client must make qualifying direct deposits into their Key Select Checking account over 12 statement periods.

For example, if a payday is on Friday, and Key receives the deposit information two days in advance, the client could receive their money on Wednesday. Clients will be notified in advance of the start of the Early Pay program. As of now, current product offerings and terms remain in effect. Additional current offerings aimed at helping clients take control of their finances, include: Key Secured Credit Card® .
