CLEVELAND, January 28, 2025 /3BL/ – Today, [KeyBank](https://www.key.com/personal/index.html) launched a year-long bicentennial celebration. Throughout 2025, Key will celebrate two centuries of service to clients, teammates, and communities. Events are planned across the company’s national footprint.

“KeyBank was founded in 1825 in Albany, New York. Our roots trace back to a time before electricity illuminated the night, before the automobile ruled the roadways, and before the telephone carried our voices across the continent.” said Chris Gorman, KeyCorp Chairman &amp; CEO. “I look forward to celebrating our company’s rich history and showing that yesterday, today, and tomorrow, KeyBank will be here to help our clients, our colleagues, and our communities thrive.”

The company unveiled a digital [KeyBank Heritage Center](https://historyofkeybank.com/). The site gives visitors an interactive look at KeyBank’s two centuries of history, highlighting important milestones and events that have shaped the bank from its founding in 1825 to its presence today, as one of the nation’s largest bank-based financial services companies.

In April, KeyBank will unveil a Heritage Center at the company’s headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. The state-of-the-art museum will house interactive exhibits featuring artifacts and visual displays highlighting KeyBank’s storied history and countless contributions to the communities it so proudly serves across the country.

Additional details about KeyBank’s Bicentennial Celebration will be released throughout the year. With 17,000 teammates, millions of clients, and a presence spanning from Maine to Alaska, KeyBank is positioned to serve its clients and communities for generations to come.
