Let us call and talk to KeyBank for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

What are the hours and when should I call?

KeyBank operates the call center for this 800-539-2968 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Wednesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 410 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the KeyBank call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this KeyBank phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like KeyBank staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call KeyBank is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 283% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 410 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call KeyBank

In summation, the best day to call KeyBank is Wednesday.

Calling this KeyBank Customer Number

I had a question about my savings account because it doesn't look like interest is accruing and I thought I chose a checking account that had a small, but present interest rate. I didn't feel like going down to a branch and standing in that line, so I decided to give KeyBank a call and see what they had to say. 

Obviously KeyBank has a lot of customers who could be calling about everything from fraudulent transactions to lines of credit to CDs so I had no idea how long it would take me to get to someone. I was hopeful that they would have decent customer service, but it was really anyone's guess. 

When I called, an automated assistant immediately greeted me and said, "Thank you for calling Key. Please enter the last four digits of your social security number. Or to enter an account or card number, press 0." I called during my lunch break so I didn't have any information with me, so I opted to use my social security number. That however didn't work, because immediately after I entered my number, it said, "Please enter your KeyBank debit card number, or another KeyBank account or card number."

I was a little frustrated, but then immediately after it told me that I could alternatively press 0 to talk to a customer service agent which I opted to do. From here it said, "To get you to the right person, please choose from the following. For assistance with a checking, savings, or CD account, press 1. Credit card, press 2. Loan or line of credit, press 3. For fraudulent debit or credit card transactions, press 4. Banking online or mobile banking, press 5. Other accounts or questions, press 6."

I chose one since I needed to talk to someone about my account and was told, "Please hold for the next customer service representative." It took over twenty minutes of listening to elevator music, but then I was connected with a pleasant English-speaking agent who helped answer my questions.

More KeyBank Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact KeyBank customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

KeyBank Customer Service Live Chat

key.com - Customer Service
Use this link to start a live chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, KeyBank provides this option.

KeyBank Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)

twitter.com/KeyBank_Help - Customer Service
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
KeyBank, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.

KeyBank Customer Help Desk / Web Support

key.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- KeyBank customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
