KeyBank
reviews and complaints

Hello, this is with great disappointment to express my concern. I have been banking with Key for more than 20years and was denied twice for a small loan ($5000) to pay off some debts. If my bank do not have enough trust in their customers, that is an indication for a person to make the decision and do their banking with someone else. I hope that this can be shared with the proper person who receives this type of compliant. It is really disappointing to be rejected by a bank which want me to trust them with holding an account. I'm not sure why a third party have the option of making a decision to approve a loan, instead of the actual bank institution. I find it very hard to believe in KeyBank like I use to. I was there when you were Society Bank.

Once again we are in month number 6. They are saying that it is a legit transaction. That it was a signed and stamped delivery. Yet absolutely no one can cough up my signature or even tell me the company that delivered it. Yet this is what Key Bank says is their proof. WELL THEN SHOW IT TO ME..biggest scammers here are Key Bank. I am not going away.

My brother's account was stolen! My brother had 9k in his bank when a branch manager stole my brothers account when he filed a fraud claim in my brother's name. Once he did this it closed my brothers account saying he owed 9k back to the bank, my brother and my parents had been banking at key for 30 years maybe more.

My brother was so worried about the bank issue that at work, he was on someone's roof trimming trees. and fell 20 feet off the roof and broke his back shattered his arm, he said he was worried about all the bank stuff, he sent me some of the evidence that proofs the manager stole his account, there is 10k missing in the math?

Please he has tried to call and report it, but he can't find any help. this happened in April. Since my parents banked at key as well, since my brother was associated with them the bank decided to steal the balance of my brothers account out of my parents account which was their social security and how they live now since they are 80 years old.

All of them have banked at key for over 30 years my parents are very upset that their money was taken for my 56-year-old brothers account which was stolen by a branch manager, how can this happen?

Since my parents has left key bank for the fact of how this situation was handled, I live in fl and tried to call and talk to someone at their branch and was treated like I didn't know anything and as I was speaking to the teller it seemed she knew the inside info and started sticking up for the branch manager and arguing with me, which tells me that my family was a topic in the opening, my mom was so upset for the treatment they received.

This is very serious and key bank owes my mom and my brother their money back which is 11k and an apology for how they were judged and serotyped.

I did make a purchase of $19.95 on March 27th. This is where this scam all began. On April 6th I saw an unauthorized transaction of $79.95 taken from my account. I called Fraud immediately and she initially put it back in my account and cancelled my card. On April 19th I receive a letter from your fraud dept, saying based on the Merchant documentation that matches my account information that the transaction was authorized. Well of course they have my account information? They send some copy of something that has a tracking # that is nonexistent stating that is was delivered to my door as a signed purchase by Express.? I have never received anything. So when I called your dept, I asked her who delivered it and she said Express again, and I asked Express what, she could not give me an answer. So she suggested I call the merchant and ask them, and she gives me a # that is just a busy signal and not a regular busy signal, it is a # that doesn't work. This company is apparently called in the letter " CUSHC " OR "CUSHYC.COM ". The account that took my money was Cshceast. If your fraud dept said they checked everything out, then why can no one give me a straight answer as to who these people are and who shipped this nonexistent package. The original site I got scammed from was called " Searchstores.Bargains " which now has been taken down because it was a scam. The people who complained on there, one gentleman has an unauthorized transaction of $79.95 taken out of his account also. This Cushyc.com site they sent me to is in Amsterdam the company or scammer that took my money was Cshceast in Irving Texas. How did we get to Amsterdam. There is no such company called Cushyc that works out of Irving Texas. I am beginning to think that Key Bank Fraud department is all part of this scam. This has been going on since April 6 2023

In January 2021, my brother and I were named POAs for our aunt. I was named executrix of her Will. All documents were prepared by an elder care attorney with my aunt's full in-person participation and input. The attorney suggested getting beneficiary names in place to align with my aunt's Will. We went to see Matt Rosetti of Key Bank Investments in Canton, Ohio within a week of our attorney's visit to take care of this and a few other steps advised by our attorney. We specifically asked that our aunt's annuities managed by Mr. Rosetti and Key Bank have named beneficiaries per the terms of the Will. Mr. Rosetti did not do as we asked. Instead, he changed the beneficiary to "Estate of My Aunt's Name". Not understanding the gravity of his advice, I thought this meant the annuities would be distributed per the Will. We went along with his advice because he was the supposed expert in the room. After my aunt passed away in March 2023, my brother and I met with our attorney. We inquired how the beneficiaries read by verifying with the annuity contract companies. Because of Mr. Rosetti's hubris, he led us in exactly the wrong direction regarding financial planning for my aunt's assets after her death. My understanding now is that the first order of business for financial assets is to name specific beneficiaries. This is what we asked Mr. Rosetti to do. His error caused an estate to be filed in probate court which comes with expenses that must be paid from my aunt's remaining assets. I attempted to share my feedback with Mr. Rosetti's superior, Adam Donahue. Mr. Donahue has failed to arrange an appointment with me. I made multiple attempts to do so. Throughout my dealings with Mr. Rosetti, he often referred to me as the daughter rather than the niece, clearly showing that the customer was not his top priority. The aftermath of Mr. Rosetti's and Mr. Donahue's approach to customer service and poor investment advice is for us to bear. Mr. Rosetti and Mr. Donahue appear to have moved on to the next unknowing customers who put their trust in their advice.

My husband passed on 1/5/2023 Key Bank Charged off his line of credit (2nd mtg loan). No one is able to help me as it was charged off. I paid 3 payment they cashed them I can't get a statement to pay the balance (which I have the funds to do) they did not cash the April check so I am sure there will be late fees and additional finance charges. I have sent them documentation asked for a statement 1 phone call with a person saying they had no idea why the charge off and would call back. No call back. I have no where to turn. I need to get this paid

Hi There,

I am writing to you with regard to a matter of significant concern. Specifically, I would like to bring to your attention the actions of Key Bank, which have caused me significant financial loss.

In 2022, I became aware that Key Bank had been charging me a $10 ACH fee and a $25 service fee as a result of the type of account they claimed I had. In response, I requested that my account be changed to the type that incurs only $5 in fees. Key Bank assured me that the requested change had been made. Please note that Key Bank records all telephone conversations, and I urge you to review the recorded conversation between myself and Key Bank representatives to verify this account.

However, as of today's date, April 18, 2023, I have discovered that Key Bank has continued to charge me the $10 ACH fee and $25 service fee, despite having previously promised to modify my account in order to prevent such fees from being levied. These repeated and unauthorized charges have caused me to lose trust and faith in Key Bank, and have left me feeling deceived and financially compromised. I have trusted Key Bank to safeguard my funds, but I now realize that my trust may have been misplaced.

I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this situation. The banking system must be honest and transparent, and it is unacceptable for banks to take advantage of their customers by levying unauthorized fees or engaging in other unethical practices. As such, I request that Key Bank return to me all of the funds that they have unlawfully taken from my account, and that they take steps to ensure that this kind of activity does not happen again in the future.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

I don’t understand why unemployment only use key bank? This bank is horrible. They will have you waiting for 2 months just to receive a card. I called twice after I updated my address with unemployment and NYC. Gov but they told me that I needed to verify with an email address it’s within the first 30 of applying. Sounds stupid. I have a child and bills. Please make it make sense. The damn girl kept saying “ I’m sorry” and “ I understand” I felt mocked and annoyed by those remarks

Open an account on the first of December 2022 and it’s 21 of the mont and still no card my correct assumption it’s just too [censored]ing difficult for for this bank to send something so small to one [censored]ing costumer and so I’m doing Business with company anymore and waste with either and here’s my former account number.

I have been transferred 4 times. I have been waiting on hold for over 38 minutes while each representative advises me that he or she cannot assist me. I do not understand. Are employees not smart enough to help with multiple issues? One woman was yawning into the phone so loud at 8:11am. Just get a new JOB! Clearly, this one isn't working out for you. The second person said I had the wrong department to hold while he transferred me. Third lady said if this is for an unemployment benefit card to hold while she transfers me! I have two fraud charges and need a new card. I could have my 15 year old niece handle these calls with training. Where is the training here? Why are these customer service people not capable of handling my call? This is absolutely ridiculous. I mean absolutely ridiculous.

Hello, I am writing with a serious concern regarding an ATM issue but also the response I received from the Key Bank call center on Saturday, August 20th at around1:30 pm. I am visiting family from India and attempted to retrieve some cash from an ATM machine in Middleburg Heights - the machine took my card and did not return it (I am 9000 miles away from home now without access to my money.) When I called the service number I was told the people who service the machine would just destroy it since it's not from Key Bank and I was told to contact my institution. Again, it is in India and I have no way of getting a replacement card and will be in the US for 3 weeks. The person who answered my call had no empathy and verged on sarcasm and condescension when I tried to emphasize the direness of my situation. I am at a complete loss as to why the machine would take my card and why there is no recourse to retrieve it, I have been able to use it in many places without incident.

Are they a legitimate private loan company? I filled a contract - signed it but still haven’t received my loan instead there have been problem after problem. I paid $650 to The loan place - $125 to them and $225 plus $300 to New York State Department of Clearance. My loan is for $2300 but I want my unnecessary expenses back too, well the $125 is refundable. So, $2650

My son’s Key Bank Mastercard number was stolen by a Microsoft sponsored X-Box user. His card was used to purchase $1900.00 of electronically delivered X-Box games. A fraud claim was filed with Key Bank and the card was cancelled. A police report was filed with the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department and the Inglewood CA police department.

Microsoft provided extensive research to Key Bank identifying the thief by providing his gamer tag, console id, IP address and billing address in Inglewood California.

Key Bank advertises Zero Liability Fraud Protection for their Mastercard. Our situation proves this advertisement to be false.

Despite the evidence from Microsoft and our fraudulent claim, the bank paid the fraudulent charges and Closed our claim. We were notified of the decision by mail weeks later. I am unsure how or why someone at Key Bank has the authority to spend their clients money, but it is exactly what happened. Key Bank advised they would not re-open, re-evaluate or re-open another claim to assist in a refund. We were advised to work with Microsoft.

Our efforts with Microsoft, a multibillion dollar company, have fallen on deaf ears. Multiple hours of aggravation have resulted in no refund. Microsoft isn’t concerned with customer protection. They have confirmed the charges are fraudulent. They have visibility to the thief’s profile and won’t take simple action to shut down the thief’s game utilization. I used the search engine “Xboxgamertag” to view the thief’s profile and activity (which was paid for by my son and many other users). The thief’s account was made within a four month period and was able to buy 144 games with added packs and in game credits.

Microsoft encourages and rewards this behavior knowing it is a federal offense. Clearly Microsoft accepts this behavior and does not penalize the thief or hold them accountable for fraud with Microsoft. Who knows, maybe it’s a Microsoft employee who has access to the profiles and sells the information.

I would not encourage any X-Box or Microsoft account holder to enter a credit card number into their profile as Microsoft places you at risk and sponsors this type of behavior by their lack of resolution action. I advise to purchase pre-paid cards for any online gaming purchases to be safe.

We were advised by the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department that we lost our leverage by paying the Key Bank Mastercard.

The police department advised we should not have paid the credit card and let Key Bank sue us for the fraudulent charges.

We are left with zero resolve and my son is out $1900.00 due to poor customer service and praising criminal behaviors.
