KEY

Keycorp /new/

A maker of everyday banking and big-money deals, this US bank holding company serves individuals and small businesses through KeyBank's branches and digital brand, and powers large corporate deals through its KeyBanc Capital Markets platform—syndicated loans, stock and bond underwriting, and merger advice. Its roots run back to the Commercial Bank of Albany in 1825 and Cleveland's Society for Savings in 1849, which merged in 1994 to form today's company. The red "key" logo, designed in 1979, symbolizes unlocking opportunity.
