03Begin testing

As a KeyBank API consumer, you have access to our non-production environment. This environment is ideal for integration testing because it simulates realistic responses and conditions using real data. You can also perform end-to-end testing to validate your build. For access to the non-production environment, speak with a KeyBank onboarding specialist to learn more.

Onboard with KeyBank

To become a KeyBank API consumer, a company representative or lead developer will need to meet with us to discuss your API needs and collect some necessary information.

When meeting with the KeyBank onboarding team, they’ll ask about the APIs you want to use, the amount of data that you normally handle, and if you need access to a test environment. They'll also collect information like certificates, IP addresses, and how you plan to use the APIs. All this helps configure and secure an API environment tailored to your needs.


04Go live

Connect your application to KeyBank! When you are ready to go live, you can deploy your APIs in a certified production environment. The production environment returns live responses with real data and real money.
