Founded in 2006 as a local community bank in Connecticut, Darien Rowayton Bank (DRB) pivoted its strategy to become a national leader in student loan refinancing, primarily targeting medical professionals, lawyers, and MBAs. The bank offered competitive rates by focusing on low-risk, high-income borrowers. In 2018, to reflect its national digital presence and broader product offerings, the company rebranded to Laurel Road Bank. In April 2019, KeyBank acquired the digital lending business of Laurel Road, integrating its platform and services. Today, Laurel Road operates as a digital banking brand of KeyBank, continuing its focus on providing tailored banking and lending solutions to healthcare professionals and graduates.
