Methodology

To create our Bankrate Scores, we evaluated lenders based on availability, affordability and customer experience. Availability was assessed based on the minimum loan amount required, time to approval, days to close, minimum draw requirements, minimum credit score requirements and loan types offered. Affordability was assessed based on minimum APR, discounts and promotions offered and associated fees. Customer experience was assessed based on online application and account availability, customer support, auto payment availability and mobile app availability and ratings.

Benefits

  • If you have KeyBank checking and savings accounts, you can get a 0.25 percent rate discount on home equity products.

Types of fees charged

KeyBank charges an origination fee of $295 for home equity loans and a $50 annual fee for HELOCs. Additionally, while you won’t be charged for some closing costs upfront, you’ll be required to repay certain closing costs if you pay your loan off and close your account within three years.
