KeyBank will open its state-of-the-art branch at the Landing in Renton Monday.
The new 4,695-square-foot branch is at 710 N. 10th St. in Renton, within The Landing mixed-use development off Interstate 405. Its neighbors in the complex include apartment and condominium residences, Regal Stadium Cinema, Target, PetSmart, and Staples. Fry’s Home Electronics is nearby.
This is KeyBank’s second branch in Renton, with two more branches planned. It is part of an extensive effort by Key to expand and enhance its presence in the Seattle-Cascades District which comprises 83 branches from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, north to Canada and east to Spokane. The bank plans to build an estimated 15 new banks and remodel more than half its existing branches during the next two to four years.
“Renton has been good for Key and we are enthusiastic about investing in its future,” said Rick Wirthlin, president of Key’s Seattle-Cascades District, in a press release.
The official grand opening week is June 29 – July 3, when the public is invited to for refreshments and to register to win a $500 KeyPossibilities gift card.
Outside the new branch is a drive-up ATM in the adjacent parking garage and a walk-up ATM facing the pedestrian concourse. A video wall employs eight flat screens to display helpful information to clients. Customer services include four teller windows, a conference rooms, two private offices, three cubicles and a conference room to accommodate client meetings requiring privacy.
Taisha Moore will manage the new branch, Wirthlin said. For the past 10 years, she has managed the KeyBank branch at Renton Mall. She began her career at KeyBank in 1993 as a teller. Since then, she has been a vice president and has held several leadership positions.
The branch will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays; and 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
Key’s investment in its newest branch includes the latest in technology. New “Teller 21” technology places better information in the hands of tellers quickly, freeing up time for them to advise and interact with clients. Behind the scenes, processing and handling time is significantly reduced. For example, a check brought to the branch would once have been handled up to 12 times by tellers, proof operators and others involved in the processing function. With Teller 21, that check is handled only once.
