Key Accounts Manager Complete User Guide

Key understands the importance of providing you with clear, easy to follow steps to set up your sub-accounts. The Key Account Manager (KAM) solution segregates client escrow funds into separate sub-accounts, each clearly identified by a unique account number, as well as your social security number or taxpayer ID number. Each sub-account is also linked to a single master account for disbursements.

1. Overview

The Key Multicurrency Account can help you reduce your international transaction costs and improve liquidity. Proceeds from the settlement of foreign receivables can be deposited directly into your account. Since no foreign conversion is required, payments can be credited to your account faster. If you have both currency-denominated payables and receivables Key’s multicurrency account can reduce foreign exchange rate risk by maintaining balances in multiple currencies to cover international payment obligations.

This guide will provide all the details you need for how to create and authorize your payments, as well as view your account activity.

To further simply the process, you will receive a monthly summary report via KeyNavigator, our 24-hour internet based delivery channel. This report clearly describes all sub-account transaction activity and delivers the detail you need to reconcile efficiently and accurately.

You will also be mailed 1099s for sub-accounts with an accrued interest of $10 or more per year. Key Accounts Manager is backed by a dedicated support team, so you will have access to the answers you need, leaving any guesswork behind.

With Key Accounts Manager, you will also enjoy the convenience of spending less time on bookkeeping and paperwork, while you enjoy the added value of earning a competitive money market rate of interest on all of your sub-account balances.
