Key Smart Checking is KeyBank’s strongest consumer account — no monthly fee, no minimum balance, and fee-free access to KeyBank’s own ATMs plus the Allpoint network. It includes Zelle, mobile deposit, and a Mastercard debit card.

Savings Accounts

KeyBank’s standard savings APY is around 0.01%, which is below national average HYSA rates — confirm the current rate before opening, since even near-zero APYs can change. KeyBank does not operate a standalone high-yield savings division. Customers seeking competitive savings rates should consider pairing KeyBank checking with an external HYSA (see best high-yield savings accounts).
