I'll add my $0.02 about Key - when we first opened our account there,
it took almost 2 months to get a working ATM card - and we've still had
lots of trouble with the ATM (eating the card, not accessing accounts,
etc.) My husband and I have had accounts at banks in 4 states (we've moved
a lot) and Key has given us more trouble than all the other banks combined.
I could go on for days about the various other problems we've had, but I'll 
leave it at: Don't use Key Bank!
