KeyBank and Dividend Finance have formed a new partnership that will help people finance solar and energy storage systems for their homes. Dividend, a national provider of solar and home improvement financing solutions, together with KeyBank, a regional bank supporting financial wellness with industry expertise, will now offer financing to homeowners who want to add solar power to their residences.
Both companies have shown major commitments to investing in renewable energy initiatives in the past. Since its inception in 2014, Dividend has brought the benefits of solar ownership to customers looking to gain energy independence, control energy costs and adopt renewable technologies. KeyBank’s renewable energy portfolio investment is more than $3.3 billion. Although KeyBank’s renewable energy portfolio was solely focused in the commercial space, KeyBank’s partnership with Dividend will now allow homeowners to invest in solar energy and create potential long-term savings by turning utilities into long-term predictable expenses — helping them to take control of their financial wellness.
“Empowering homeowners to invest in this growing solar technology — and helping to make it affordable for them to do so — will help our clients take control of rising utility costs and their financial future,” said Chris Manderfield, director, head of product management for the consumer segment for KeyBank.
These services will be offered in 35 states across the nation.
“Dividend’s ability to provide KeyBank access to new households while optimizing our funding strategy creates great alignment. This landmark partnership is a testament to our platform’s bankability and furthers our mission of promoting the adoption of renewable technologies,” said Eric White, Dividend’s CEO.
