Achievement celebrates hard work done by clients to build their credit history and grow their financial future
CLEVELAND, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, KeyBank (NYSE: KEY) announced that the Spring 2024 graduating class of the Key Secured Credit Card® program comprises more than 2,800 clients who have worked hard to improve their credit scores and establish financial stability. This class brings the total number of graduates to more than 30,900 clients since the program's inception in 2019.
The Key Secured Credit Card is a critical piece of KeyBank's commitment to financial education and empowerment, helping clients who are ready to establish their credit history or want to improve it.

Graduating from the Key Secured Credit Card program may assist clients in securing traditional credit so they can continue their financial growth toward achieving future goals like purchasing a car or owning a home.
"In our current economic environment, Americans are working to build their financial resiliency," said Dan Brown, Director of Consumer Product Management at KeyBank. "Through the lessons learned and goals set in the Key Secured Credit Card program, these graduates have empowered themselves with the necessary skills to help them on their financial paths."
