KeyBank is handing out up to $500 (here’s how to grab it)

Hey there,

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to switch checking accounts, this might be it.

KeyBank is offering up to a $500 cash bonus when you open a new checking account and set up direct deposit. Simple, straightforward, and a quick way to put extra cash in your pocket.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Open a new Key Smart Checking® (or another eligible KeyBank account).

  2. Make direct deposits totaling $2,000 within 90 days.

  3. Collect your $300 bonus.

Want to earn even more? Set up direct deposits totaling $5,000 and you’ll earn $500.

But what makes this worth more than just the bonus? The account itself is designed to keep things simple:

  • No monthly maintenance fee as long as you make at least one direct deposit each statement period.

  • Full digital banking tools: deposit checks, pay bills, and transfer money all from your phone.

  • Large ATM network so you’re not stuck hunting for fee-free cash.

Why it matters:
Too many checking accounts give you nothing for parking your paycheck. With KeyBank, you’re not just getting a bonus, you’re getting a fee-free account that’s easy to manage and works the way you already bank.

Until next time,
