KEYBANK MADE $514 MILLION IN COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS IN PHILADELPHIA AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA SINCE 2017

KeyBank surpasses five-year goals of its National Community Benefits Plan with more than 

 $26 billion focused on economic access and equity across the U.S.

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., May 12, 2022 – As announced in KeyCorp’s 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report released in April, the bank has surpassed the five-year goals of its National Community Benefits Plan, providing more than $26 billion focused on economic access and equity to communities across the country. The scope of these investments and lending included affordable housing, home lending, small business lending, and transformative philanthropy targeted toward workforce development, education, and safe, vital neighborhoods for underserved communities and populations. 

In its Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania market, KeyBank has invested more than $514 million in the past five years[1], including:

• $219 million in affordable housing and community development projects.

• $75 million in small business loans to businesses that are part of low- and-moderate income communities.

• $218 million in mortgage lending to low- and moderate-income communities throughout the market.

• $1.7 million in transformational philanthropic investments in neighborhoods that KeyBank serves.

“KeyBank’s commitment to our clients and communities in the greater Philadelphia area is long-standing,” said KeyBank Market President Robert Kane. “Our Community Benefits Plan defines the work we are doing with community partners to address economic disparity and racial equity across the region, and our community investments are a source of pride for us.”

In addition to the bank’s community investments for the last five years, the 2021 ESG Report highlights expanded commitments from Key for climate stewardship, including Key’s plan to finance or facilitate $38 billion to address climate change and support green initiatives by year-end 2026, and DE&I commitments, including increased representation of people of color in its senior leadership ranks.
