Short Takes: Keycorp Rolling Out Investor Advice Service

CLEVELAND - Keycorp has introduced a program aimed at making financial planning easier for consumers by offering a seven-day-a-week, toll-free hot line.

The new service will help customers answer questions about their finances within minutes.

The program, called Key Solutions, supports the Department of Labor's recently announced initiative to increase public awareness of the need to save enough for retirement.

Key Solutions is being launched initially in Columbus, Ohio, and Syracuse, N.Y., where the toll-free number is currently operational. The program will be introduced in Seattle in mid-September.

Through Key Solutions, consumers can get a five-minute analysis of their financial needs simply by dialing 1-800-5MINUTE between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time every day.
