KeyCorp

KeyCorp is a regional US bank based in Cleveland, operating the KeyBank franchise across consumer, commercial and investment banking. It serves retail customers and mid-sized businesses across the Midwest, Northeast and beyond, with a niche strength in commercial real estate and specialized corporate lending relative to its size. The bank has a long dividend record spanning decades, and after resetting its payout during past financial stress it has rebuilt and steadily raised it. The yield is on the higher side for the group, reflecting both the income focus and the risks facing regional banks around interest rates and credit. The dividend is reasonably well supported, offering solid income, though it carries the cyclical sensitivity inherent to smaller banks.
