Features

  • Laurel Road's website now redirects to Key.com as the brand is folded into KeyBank
  • Existing High Yield Savings accounts continue earning a competitive rate
  • Historically paired with $200 signup bonuses and healthcare-professional perks
  • New savers are routed to KeyBank's conventional (much lower-rate) savings lineup
  • Laurel Road's student loan refinancing business also migrated to KeyBank channels
  • No fees or minimums on legacy accounts

Pros

  • +Existing holders keep 3.50% with no fees for now
  • +KeyBank backing means zero safety concern through the transition

Cons

  • Closed to new customers — this account cannot be opened in 2026
  • KeyBank's mainline savings rates are dramatically worse, so migration risk is real
  • Brand wind-downs historically end with legacy rates quietly decaying

Our Take

Laurel Road's HYSA was a sleeper pick for years, but the brand is being absorbed into KeyBank and the front door is closed. Existing customers should enjoy 3.50% while watching statements closely: when a legacy product migrates to a branch bank's platform, the rate rarely survives. Have an exit account ready at EverBank or Openbank.

Best for: Existing Laurel Road customers only — monitor and be ready to move
