KeyBank is a regional bank headquartered in Key Tower within Cleveland, Ohio’s Public Square. As of 2007, it is the 16th largest bank in the United States based on total deposits. It is the 12th largest bank in the United States by total assets.
KeyBank National Association is a nationally chartered bank, regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Department of the Treasury.
KeyBank has approximately 17,468 employees and a diverse client base. Key’s customer base spans retail, small business, corporate, and investment clients. There are 985 Key branches located in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, and 1,479 ATMs. KeyCorp maintains business offices in 31 states. In 2008, Key was ranked 321 on the Fortune 500 list.
KeyBank also has several major sub-headquarters throughout Ohio; these are located in Cincinnati, Columbus, and Dayton. KeyBank recently took naming rights to the former MeadWestvaco Tower in Dayton, Ohio which is now named KeyBank Tower.
With RBS-owned Citizens Financial Group acquiring Charter One Financial in 2004 (though the latter retained its name in most areas under Citizens ownership) and the acquisition of National City by PNC Financial Services in 2008, KeyBank is the last surviving major bank based in Cleveland.
The company owns the naming rights to KeyArena in Seattle, WA. On April 11, 1995, the city of Seattle sold the naming rights to KeyCorp for $15.1 million, which renamed the Coliseum as KeyArena. Now that KeyArena has lost its major tenant, there has been speculation that KeyCorp may try to amend or back out of the naming rights deal. However, in March 2009, the city and KeyCorp signed a new deal for a two-year term ending December 31, 2010, at an annual fee of $300,000. (Wikipedia Jan 2010)

Bank stress tests: aftermath and consequences

tarred and feathered

In May 2009, the Obama administration divided some of America’s largest banks into ‘good banks’ and ‘bad banks’.

This broke a long-standing practice of protecting the reputation of the US banking system. The Obama government seized TARP funds as an instrument of political power.

Banks, large and small, are now eager to escape the trap of taking TARP funds, which will require them to raise $74.6 billion, either by selling equities on the market, or from profits.
