The Offer
No direct link to offer, in branch only
- KeyBank is offering a $800 bonus. Bonus is broken down as follows:
- Open a new Key Smart Checking® or KeyBank Hassle-Free Account® with a $0 monthly service fee, or Key Select Checking,® our interest-bearing checking account, using offer code FDMG0725 with a Green Valley Ranch KeyBank branch banker by 12/26/25.
- Â Make qualifying deposits to earn $500. Make $1,000 or more in eligible direct deposits within 90 days of account opening to get $500.
- Then, receive an additional $300 as a special bonus if an eligible direct deposit is made to your new checking account within 30 days prior to your one-year account-opening anniversary date.
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Key Smart Checking No Monthly Fee
This is a new account that can be opened with no monthly fee to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
Our Verdict
Better than the standard $300 checking bonus. Shame it’s only available at that branch.
