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! --Wendy Gilman Bill Carr <asdmac@csc.albany.edu> wrote: >I second and third the Key bank opinion -- I have never seen a bank >handle ordinary, day-to-day transactions so slowly or inaccurately.
