Frequently Asked Questions

To earn the bonus rate, you must maintain a balance of $25,000 to $1,999,999.99 in your new Select Money Market Savings account while having grown your total relationship or liquid balances at Key by at least $25,000.

To grow your relationship balance at Key, bring at least $25,000 in money from outside of KeyBank to any eligible accounts that make up your total relationship with KeyBank, including money market, personal checking, savings, and CD Certificate of Deposit accounts, excluding health savings accounts and retirement accounts.

The blended APY is a blend of two interest rates; 6 months at the bonus rate and 6 months at today’s current rate.

The initial total relationship balance is the monthly average balance you have in any KeyBank personal checking, savings, money market, or CD accounts (not health savings or retirement accounts) in the month before you open your Key Select Money Market Savings account.

The initial total liquid balance is the monthly average balance you have in any KeyBank personal liquid accounts including checking, savings, and money market accounts (not health savings or retirement accounts) in the month before you open your Key Select Money Market Savings account.

To grow your liquid balances at Key, either transfer at least $25,000 of maturing KeyBank CD balances or bring at least $25,000 in money from outside of KeyBank to any eligible accounts that make up your total liquid balance with Key including money market, personal checking, and savings accounts, excluding health savings accounts and retirement accounts.

To check if your relationship balance has grown, KeyBank will compare your average relationship balance for each calendar month, starting with the first full month after the new Key Select Money Market Savings account is opened, to your initial average relationship balance. This balance growth check will be done after each full calendar month during the 6-month period.

Deposits made from other financial institutions to your KeyBank checking, savings, money market, or CD account will count as relationship balance growth. Transfers between KeyBank accounts, however, will not count as relationship balance growth. 

To check if your liquid balances have grown, KeyBank will compare your average liquid balance for each calendar month, starting with the first full month after the new Key Select Money Market Savings account is opened, to your initial average liquid balance. This balance growth check will be done after each full calendar month during the 6-month period.

Transfers made from a KeyBank CD account or deposits made from another financial institution to any KeyBank checking, savings, or money market account will count as liquid balance growth.

Transfers made between KeyBank checking, savings, money market accounts will not count as liquid balance growth.

Monthly withdrawals from any checking, savings, money market, or CD account may reduce your monthly average relationship or liquid balance and may result in you not meeting the relationship or liquid balance growth requirement.

The six-month bonus rate period starts on the day the Key Select Money Market Savings account is opened. And, you’ll start earning the rate if you maintain a balance of $25,000 to $1,999.999.99 and if at least $25,000 of your total eligible balances are new to KeyBank or transferred from a maturing CD. So, the earlier you qualify, the longer you can benefit from the bonus interest rate.

If your Key Select Money Market Savings account doesn’t maintain a balance of $25,000.00 to $1,999,999.99 or you don’t meet the relationship or liquid balance growth requirements, the account will return to the Current Variable Interest Rate until the requirements are met again.

At the end of six-months from account opening, the Bonus Interest Rate will return to the Current Variable Interest Rate in effect at that time.

Any owner of the Key Select Money Market Savings account will be assessed individually for monthly relationship or liquid balance growth in their qualifying deposit accounts. The account will qualify for the Bonus Interest Rate when at least one of the owners meets the monthly relationship or liquid deposit balance growth and the Key Select Money Market account maintains a balance of $25,000 to $1,999,999.99.

The Bonus Interest Rate will be effective on the date that the requirements are met and will remain in effect until the end of the 6-MONTH period after the account opening date provided the above requirements are met.

Relationship Deposit Balance

Your total Relationship Deposit Balance is defined as the sum of all balances in any KeyBank Personal Checking, Savings, Money Market Savings or CD accounts you own, excluding Health Savings accounts and Retirement accounts. Qualifying balances are limited by account owners of the new Key Select Money Market Savings account.

Your initial average Relationship Deposit Balance is defined as the average Relationship Deposit Balance in the full calendar month before the new Select Money Market Savings account opening date.

Average Relationship Deposit Balance for a calendar month is calculated by totaling the end of day relationship balance for each account owner on the new Key Select Money Market Savings account each day of the month and dividing that sum by the number of days in the calendar month. 

Relationship Deposit Balance Growth

To determine your Relationship Deposit Balance growth Key will compare your average Relationship Deposit Balance for each calendar month, starting with the first full month after the new Key Select Money Market Savings account is opened, and compare it to your initial average Relationship Deposit Balance. This Relationship Deposit Balance growth comparison will be done after each full calendar month during the 6-MONTH period.

Depositing new funds from another institution into any KeyBank Checking, Savings, Money Market Savings or CD account you own will constitute as Relationship Deposit Balance growth.

Transferring money from an existing KeyBank Checking, Savings, Money Market Savings, or CD account you own into an existing KeyBank account you own will not constitute as Relationship Deposit Balance growth.

Withdrawals during the month from any Checking, Savings, Money Market Savings, or CD account may negatively impact your average Relationship Deposit Balance and result in you not meeting the Relationship Deposit Balance growth requirement.

Liquid Deposit Balance

Your total Liquid Deposit Balance is defined as the sum of all balances in any KeyBank Personal Checking, Savings, Money Market Savings accounts. CD, Health Savings and Retirement accounts are excluded. Qualifying balances are limited to accounts owned by the account owners of the new Key Select Money Market Savings account.

Your initial Liquid Deposit Balance is defined as the average Liquid Deposit Balance in the full calendar month before the new Key Select Money Market Savings account opening date.

Average Liquid Deposit Balance for a calendar month is calculated by totaling the end of day liquid balance for each day of the month and dividing that sum by the number of days in the calendar month.

Liquid Deposit Balance Growth

To determine your Liquid Deposit Balance growth Key will compare your average Liquid Deposit Balance for each account owner on the new Key Select Money Market Savings account each calendar month, starting with the first full month after the new Key Select Money Market Savings account is open, and compare it to your initial average Liquid Deposit Balance. This Liquid Deposit Balance growth comparison will be done each month during the 6-MONTH period.

Transferring money from an existing KeyBank CD account you own or depositing new funds from another institution into any Checking, Savings, or Money Market Savings account you own will constitute as Liquid Deposit Balance growth.

Transferring money from an existing KeyBank Checking, Savings, Money Market Savings account you own into an existing KeyBank account you own will not constitute as Liquid Deposit Balance growth.

Withdrawals during the month from any KeyBank Checking, Savings, or Money Market Savings account may negatively impact your average Liquid Deposit Balance and result in you not meeting the Liquid Deposit Balance growth requirement.

Any account owner of the new Key Select Money Market Savings Account will be assessed individually for Relationship Deposit Balance growth and Liquid Deposit Balance growth based on the qualifying deposit accounts owned by that owner. The account will qualify for the Bonus Interest Rate when the account maintains a minimum daily balance of $25000.00 and at least one of the owners meets either the Relationship Deposit Balance growth requirement or the Liquid Deposit Balance growth requirement.

The Bonus Interest Rate shown above will be effective for a 6-MONTH period starting on the day the new Key Select Money Market Savings Account is open if you meet the requirements noted above. If you do not meet the requirements noted above, the account will return to the Current Variable Interest Rate in effect at that time until the requirements are met again. The Bonus Interest Rate will be effective on the date that the requirements are met and will remain in effect until the end of the 6-MONTH period after the account opening date provided the above requirements are met.

This variable APY is a composite APY calculated using the Bonus Interest Rate and the Current Variable Interest Rate (without bonus rate) shown above. As described above, when the requirements are not maintained and at the end of the 6-MONTH period following the Account opening date, the Bonus Interest Rate will return to the Current Variable Interest Rate (without bonus rate) in effect at that time. The Current Variable Interest Rate (without bonus rate) noted above reflects what your interest rate would be if the requirements were not maintained, or the 6-MONTH period expired today.

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. To be eligible for relationship rates, you must bank with KeyBank and own at least one additional eligible KeyBank non-Checking account (“Plus 1 Account”). Banking with Key means you (1) own an eligible open KeyBank consumer checking account, excluding a health savings account, with five (5) or more qualifying transactions posted to a single eligible checking account in a calendar month, which may not be aggregated across other accounts you own; or (2) own an open Key Private Bank checking or Key Private Bank - Personal Checking account (either of which may be referred to as the “Relationship Account”).

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. Eligible Plus 1 Accounts include any savings, lending, credit card, or investment product.

We will determine whether you have met the bank eligibility criteria for the current calendar month based on the qualifying transaction activity in your Relationship Account during the prior calendar month. You will automatically be enrolled in a grace period for the first month in which you fail to meet the bank criteria (the “Grace Month”) and will be eligible for relationship benefits throughout the Grace Month. If you fail to meet the bank criteria during the Grace Month, you will no longer receive the relationship benefits in the next calendar month. You will still receive relationship benefits so long as you own at least one Relationship Account. If you close all of your Relationship Account(s) you will no longer meet the bank eligibility 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).

Your Account will begin to earn interest at the Relationship interest rate during the first full week of the month following the month you meet these requirements.
