CLEVELAND, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --  KeyBank customer satisfaction levels continue to exceed industry averages and surpass scores received by leading US money centers, according to the 2012 customer satisfaction survey conducted by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI).

KeyBank's year-over-year results in overall satisfaction remained steady, according to ACSI data. ACSI is a national cross-industry measure of satisfaction with the quality of goods and services available to US household consumers.

"These results reflect KeyBank employees' commitment to our customers and our communities. KeyBank employees always take that extra step to help our customers and communities to thrive," said Bill Koehler, KeyBank Community Bank president.

Koehler said the results also demonstrate that the bank's service model is robust and client-focused, adding that KeyBank is incorporating survey insight as the bank continually identifies ways to improve customer service.
