PRICING SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated June 12, 2008 and
Prospectus Supplement dated June 20, 2008)


Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series I
$1,000,000,000
5.100% Senior Notes, due March 24, 2021

This pricing supplement describes the series of our senior notes that will be issued under our medium-term note program, Series I.
We refer to our 5.100% senior notes, due March 24, 2021 as the "notes." This pricing supplement supplements the terms and conditions
in the prospectus, dated June 12, 2008, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, dated June 20, 2008 (as so supplemented,
together with all documents incorporated by reference, the "Prospectus"), which should be read together with this pricing supplement.
The notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of our other unsecured and senior indebtedness outstanding from time to time. We do
not intend to list any series of the notes on any securities exchange.

The notes will mature on March 24, 2021, and will be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any larger amount that is a
whole multiple of $1,000. Interest on the notes will accrue from March 24, 2011. We will pay interest on the notes semiannually in
arrears on March 24 and September 24 of each year, beginning September 24, 2011. Interest will be paid to the persons in whose name
the notes are registered at the close of business on March 9 and September 9 preceding each interest payment date, whether or not a
business day. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If the maturity date or an
interest payment date for the notes is not a business day, we will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest for the notes on the next
business day, and no interest will accrue from and after the maturity date or interest payment date. The notes are not subject to
redemption or repayment prior to maturity. The notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, the net proceeds of our recently commenced offering of our common shares, par
value $1.00 per share ("Common Shares"), described under "Recent Developments -- Common Equity Offering" ("common equity
offering"), and other available funds to repurchase all $2.5 billion of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, par
value $1.00 per share, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share ("Series B Preferred Stock"), that we issued to the United
States Department of the Treasury (the "U.S. Treasury") as part of its TARP Capital Purchase Program (the "CPP"). Our repurchase of
our Series B Preferred Stock will take place at such time as the U.S. Treasury authorizes such repurchase. See "Use of Proceeds."
Although we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, the net proceeds of the common equity offering, and other available funds to
repurchase our Series B Preferred Stock, the consummation of this offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the common
equity offering or the repurchase.

Investing in the notes involves risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-3 of the accompanying prospectus supplement
for certain information relevant to an investment in the notes, and the discussion of risk factors contained in our annual,
quarterly and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, which are incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/91576/000095012311027745/l42135be424b5.htm#L42135132[3/24/2011 7:44:38 AM]


e424b5

The notes are not savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of any of our bank or non-bank subsidiaries and are not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") or any other governmental agency.

None of the SEC, any state securities commission, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Federal Reserve") or any other regulatory body have approved or disapproved of the notes or passed upon the adequacy or
accuracy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this pricing supplement. We have not,
and the agents have not, authorized any person to provide you with different or inconsistent information. If anyone provides you
with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it in making a decision about whether to invest in the notes.
We are not, and the agents are not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not
permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this pricing supplement, the accompanying prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate only as of
their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since such dates.

Because the notes are part of a series of our debt securities called Medium-Term Notes, Series I, this pricing supplement,
the accompanying prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein
and therein should be read together. Terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement have the meanings given them in the
accompanying prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise. If there is any
inconsistency between the information in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus,
you should rely on the information in this pricing supplement. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires
otherwise, all references in this pricing supplement to "we," "us," "our" or similar references mean KeyCorp and its
consolidated subsidiaries.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Anticipated Repurchase of Our Series B Preferred Stock

In November 2008, as part of the CPP, we issued 25,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock to the U.S. Treasury
pursuant to a Letter Agreement dated November 14, 2008, and the Securities Purchase Agreement -- Standard Terms attached
thereto (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 billion. In connection with purchasing
our Series B Preferred Stock, the U.S. Treasury also received a warrant to purchase 35,244,361 of our Common Shares at an
initial per share exercise price of $10.64 (the "Warrant"), subject to certain adjustments, which expires ten years from the
issuance date, and we agreed to provide the U.S. Treasury with registration rights covering the Warrant and the underlying
Common Shares. Following completion of this offering and the common equity offering described in "-- Common Equity
Offering" below, we intend to repurchase all 25,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury at such
time as the U.S. Treasury authorizes it; such repurchase will be made at an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 billion plus accrued
and unpaid dividends to the date of repurchase. We will use the net proceeds of this offering, the net proceeds of the common
equity offering, and other available funds for the repurchase of our Series B Preferred Stock. See "Use of Proceeds" below.

In the period in which we repurchase our Series B Preferred Stock, we will accelerate the amortization of the issuance
discount on our Series B Preferred Stock and record a corresponding reduction in retained earnings, which may impact earnings
per Common Share (i.e., reduce net income available to holders of our Common Shares in an amount equal to the issuance
discount accelerated). The issuance discount is due to the carrying value of our Series B Preferred Stock being less than its
liquidation value, as the carrying value of our Series B Preferred Stock is based on its fair value at issuance. As of
December 31, 2010, the amount of the issuance discount on our Series B Preferred Stock was $53.26 million. Following
completion of this offering and repurchase of our Series B Preferred Stock, and taking into account the common equity offering
and other adjustments including our deferred tax asset, we expect that our pro forma Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1
common equity ratios will be 12.75% and 10.08%, based on the December 31, 2010 ratios of 15.16% and 9.34%, respectively.
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/91576/000095012311027745/l42135be424b5.htm#L42135132[3/24/2011 7:44:38 AM]

Common Equity Offering

On March 18, 2011, we commenced and priced a separate registered public offering of 70,621,470 of our Common Shares
at a price to the public of $8.85 per share, or $625,000,010 in aggregate gross proceeds. The underwriters may also purchase up
to an additional 7,062,147 of our Common Shares at a price to the public of $8.85 per share within 30 days to cover over-
allotments, if any. The common equity offering is scheduled to be consummated on March 23, 2011, subject to satisfaction of
certain standard conditions to closing set forth in the underwriting agreement for that offering. We intend to use the proceeds
from the common equity offering, this offering, and other available funds to enable us to proceed with our proposed repurchase
of our Series B Preferred Stock. Neither the consummation of this offering of notes nor the common equity offering is
conditioned on the other. This pricing supplement is not an offer to sell any such Common Shares; any offer to sell such
Common Shares will be made only by a separate prospectus supplement.

Supervisory Capital Assessment Program

In November 2010, the Federal Reserve issued Revised Temporary Addendum to Supervisory Letter SR 09-4 (the
"Revised Addendum"). The Revised Addendum outlines specific criteria the Federal Reserve will consider when evaluating
proposed capital actions by the 19 largest U.S. banking institutions that participated in the Federal Reserve's Supervisory
Capital Assessment Program ("SCAP"), including KeyCorp ("SCAP BHCs"), including actions such as increasing dividends,
implementing common stock repurchase programs, or redeeming or repurchasing capital instruments more broadly. The
Revised Addendum requires the Federal Reserve to assess the capital adequacy of SCAP BHCs based upon a review of each
SCAP BHC's comprehensive capital plan, which we submitted to the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency on January 7, 2011.

Based upon communications with the Federal Reserve in conjunction with its assessment of our comprehensive capital
plan, we anticipate that, upon completion of this offering and our common equity offering, we will have sufficient capital to
repurchase our Series B Preferred Stock held by the U.S. Treasury and either repurchase the Warrant, whether directly from the
U.S. Treasury or if and when the U.S. Treasury auctions the Warrant, or repurchase our Common Shares in an amount expected
to be sufficient to offset the estimated dilution to our equity that would occur if the Warrant were exercised.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $994,270,000, after deducting estimated expenses
and underwriting discounts and commissions.

Based upon communications with the Federal Reserve in conjunction with its assessment of our comprehensive capital
plan, we anticipate that, upon completion of this offering and our common equity offering, we will have sufficient capital to
repurchase our Series B Preferred Stock held by the U.S. Treasury. Accordingly, we intend to notify the U.S. Treasury of our
intent to repurchase all of the 25,000 outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. If permitted to do so, we expect to fund
any such repurchase with the net proceeds of this offering, the net proceeds of our common equity offering, and $975 million of
other available funds. See "Summary -- Recent Developments -- Common Equity Offering" above. We would repurchase our
Series B Preferred Stock at its $100,000 per share liquidation preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Although we
anticipate that we will be permitted to repurchase our Series B Preferred Stock following consummation of this offering and the
common equity offering, there can be no assurance that we will be authorized by the U.S. Treasury to repurchase our Series B
Preferred Stock.

While we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering, the net proceeds of our common equity offering, and other
available funds to repurchase our Series B Preferred Stock, the consummation of this offering is not conditioned upon the
consummation of the debt offering or repurchase.

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/91576/000095012311027745/l42135be424b5.htm#L42135132[3/24/2011 7:44:38 AM]


e424b5
If we do not repurchase our Series B Preferred Stock, we will use the net proceeds of the sale of the notes for general
corporate purposes.

Upon completion of any repurchase of our Series B Preferred Stock, we may seek to repurchase the Warrant issued to the
U.S. Treasury, whether directly from the U.S. Treasury or if and when the U.S. Treasury auctions the Warrant. Alternatively,
we may decide not to or be unable to repurchase the Warrant. In such event, we may choose (but are not required) to repurchase
our Common Shares in an amount sufficient to offset the estimated dilution to our equity that would occur if the Warrant were
exercised. If we do not repurchase the Warrant, the U.S. Treasury may exercise the Warrant or sell the Warrant to third parties.
Any such repurchase of the Warrant or our Common Shares would be subject to the approval of our federal bank regulators.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES TAX CONSIDERATIONS

For a brief description of the tax effects of an investment in the notes, see "Material United States Tax Considerations" on
page S-42 of the accompanying prospectus supplement. The following supplements the discussion contained therein.

Please see the discussion under "Material United States Taxation Considerations -- Backup Withholding and Information
Reporting" of the accompanying prospectus supplement for a description of the applicability of the backup withholding and
information reporting rules to payments made on the notes. In addition, pursuant to recently enacted legislation, payments on the
notes made to corporate U.S. holders after December 31, 2011 may be subject to information reporting and backup
withholding.

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a U.S. holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not
fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax on the lesser of (1) the
U.S. holder's "net investment income" for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. holder's modified adjusted
gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and
$250,000, depending on the individual's circumstances). A holder's net investment income will generally include its interest
income and its net gains from the disposition of notes, unless such interest income or net gains are derived in the ordinary
course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities).
If you are a U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the
applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the notes.

(c) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such offer of
notes shall result in a requirement for the publication by us or any agent of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the
Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer to the public" in relation to any notes in any Relevant Member
State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any notes
to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase any notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by
any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, the expression "Prospectus Directive" means
