Digital Signage for Banks and Credit Unions

Build a branch screen right here, before you talk to anyone

The screen builder below is the real player. Pick a layout and an orientation, type a rate line, a promotion and a branch notice, and watch the loop run with its live clock. This is what a lobby display shows once it opens the Displayer URL.

Weekly schedule

Venue: restaurant, retail store, clinic, gym, office, school, plant floor, church, senior living or real estate office
Orientation: landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16
Layout: full bleed, main plus sidebar, or a menu board in three columns
Content: your business name and three short lines, prefilled for the venue you picked

The schedule strip underneath shows the same playlist placed on a weekly grid, which is exactly what the schedule view does inside the product.

What a branch actually puts on its screens

Deposit rates stated as annual percentage yield, with the line pointing customers to a banker for fees and terms
A CD or money market special with a real end date, which comes off the screen on that date without anyone remembering to pull it
Loan and HELOC offers aimed at the people already standing in the lobby, who are the cheapest audience a bank will ever reach
Wait time from the queuing system, if it publishes a browser view, next to the teller line where people actually look up
Branch hours, holiday closures and a drive through that is closed for maintenance today
Fraud awareness notices: the phone scam going round this month, and the reminder that the bank never asks for a one time code

The screen that gets read is the one that changed since the customer's last visit. A lobby loop that has shown the same mortgage slide since spring gets ignored, and the rate board is the one piece of content that changes on its own schedule, which is why it earns the prime position.

Rates that match the core, not a slide from last month

A web page item shows an existing rate page and refreshes it on the screen. If your public website already publishes current rates, the lobby display points at that page, so the number on the wall is the number the bank publishes rather than a copy somebody retyped into a slide. When the rate changes on the website it changes on every screen in every branch without a second update.

Proof of the rate that was on the wall

This is where banks differ from almost every other place digital signage gets sold. Under Regulation DD, the Truth in Savings rule, a rate shown on a sign inside the branch has to be stated as an annual percentage yield and has to tell customers to contact an employee about fees and terms. Credit unions follow the NCUA's equivalent rule. So the question after a complaint or during a compliance review is not only what was scheduled but what the customer actually saw.

A playback log answers the first question. It records that a file was scheduled and that a player said it played it. It does not show whether the APY line was cut off by a layout change, or whether a branch screen was still showing last month's special because a player had been offline.

Displayer records the play history and takes periodic screenshots of the screen itself. The record is an image with a timestamp and a screen name. When a compliance officer, an internal auditor or an examiner asks what the rate board in a given branch showed on a given day, the answer is the picture from that day. Proof of play is on the Professional plan and above, and the proof of play page covers how the record is kept and exported.

What the FDIC digital sign rule does and does not cover

Screen buyers at banks ask this more than anything else, so it is worth being precise. The FDIC's updated sign rule requires the official digital sign on websites, mobile apps and ATMs, with the compliance date for those digital channels now April 1, 2027. The physical official sign at teller stations has been required since May 1, 2025. A lobby screen running a promotion loop is not one of the digital channels the rule lists. If your compliance team decides the sign should appear on lobby displays anyway, it is one image in a template and it is on every screen from then on.

A rate change at 9 a.m., in every branch at once

The rate committee moves a CD rate on Monday evening. With printed posters, that becomes a courier run and a week of branches showing different numbers. With screens tagged by region and branch, it becomes one update, scheduled to go live at opening, and every lobby shows the same rate from the first customer onward.

Dated campaigns handle the other half of the problem. A promotional rate goes on with a start date and an end date, and it comes off on its own when the offer ends, which is the moment most branches get wrong on paper. Dayparts let the same screen show a small business loan offer in the morning, when business owners come in to deposit, and a savings message in the afternoon.

Closures, outages and the message that cannot wait

An override takes every screen in one branch, a region or the whole network and holds a single message until you lift it. A weather closure, a card network outage, a branch evacuation, a fraud wave that needs a warning on every screen before lunch. When the override lifts, every screen returns to its normal loop on its own, and the override is recorded in the play history with the timing of what was shown.

What a bank IT and security team will ask

A screen player is a device on the branch network, so security review comes first at most banks. Players call out to the platform over HTTPS and never need an inbound port, so nothing on the branch firewall opens. Screens pair with a six digit code that expires, and a lost or stolen player is revoked from the panel rather than treated as an incident. No customer data goes anywhere near the signage system: it holds your media and the play record, nothing else.

Roles are scoped by branch and region, so a branch manager can post a local notice without being able to touch the rate board. Approval before publish means a draft rate cannot reach forty lobbies by accident. SAML single sign-on, the full audit log and data residency sit on the Network plan, and the security page covers how media is stored, encrypted and deleted. Send your vendor questionnaire and it gets completed.

Run it on the displays the branches already have

There is nothing to buy from us. Any display with a browser pairs directly by opening a URL. A panel without a usable browser takes a small Android or Chrome device behind it. If your IT team already images and patches Windows machines, a mini PC in kiosk mode is often the cheapest player in the branch and is managed like every other endpoint you own. The Windows player page covers that setup.

Two practical notes before anything is mounted. A screen facing a street window needs a high brightness commercial display, because a consumer TV behind glass is unreadable at midday. And a screen visible from outside after hours is advertising to the street, so schedule what it shows after close rather than leaving the daytime loop running all night.

One branch, then the network

Tag screens by region, branch and position: lobby, teller line, drive through, conference room. A network rate reaches every lobby. A branch anniversary stays in that branch. Marketing keeps control of the rate board, branch managers keep control of local notices, and the audit log records who published what and when. Roles and approvals and the enterprise plan cover purchase orders, invoicing and procurement review for a larger institution, and the whole network runs from one panel in the cloud, which the cloud digital signage page explains in detail.

What a branch network pays

Billed per active screen, so a branch with a lobby display, two teller line screens and a drive through screen counts as four. Everyone on your team is included on every plan, which matters when marketing, compliance and every branch manager need a login.

Plan	Per screen monthly	Per screen yearly	What a bank gets
Essential	19 USD	9 USD	Playlists, weekly schedules, templates, email alerts
Professional	29 USD	14 USD	Groups, dated campaigns, roles, approvals and screenshot proof of play
Network	49 USD	24 USD	Single sign-on, audit log, data residency and API
Enterprise	Quoted	Quoted	Procurement, purchase orders, invoicing and onboarding

Twelve branches with three screens each is 36 screens. On Professional yearly that is 6,048 USD for the year, and on Network yearly 10,368 USD. Most banks that need rate evidence land on Professional, and those whose security team requires single sign-on land on Network. The pricing page lists every feature per plan, and what a screen network costs covers the displays, players and installation outside the software line.

How much does digital signage for banks cost?

Software runs from 19 USD per screen per month, or 9 USD on the yearly rate, and banks needing proof of the rates shown usually pay 14 USD yearly on Professional. Hardware is separate: a commercial lobby display, mount and player typically costs 1,000 to 3,000 USD installed, and more for a window facing high brightness panel.

Can a bank's lobby screens show live interest rates?

Yes, if your website already publishes current rates. A web page item points at that rate page and refreshes it on the screen, so every branch shows the published figure rather than a retyped slide, and a change on the website reaches every lobby without a second update.

Do rates on a bank's digital signage have to show the APY?

Yes. Under Regulation DD, a rate on an indoor sign has to be stated as an annual percentage yield, and the sign has to tell customers to contact an employee about fees and terms. The interest rate may appear alongside it, but not more prominently. Credit unions follow the NCUA's equivalent Truth in Savings rule.

Does the FDIC digital sign have to appear on lobby screens?

The FDIC's updated rule requires the digital sign on websites, mobile apps and ATMs, with digital channel compliance due April 1, 2027. A lobby promotion screen is not one of the listed channels. If your compliance team wants the sign on lobby displays anyway, it is one image in a template.

How do we prove which rate was displayed in a branch?

Displayer keeps the play history and takes periodic screenshots of each screen. The record is an image with a timestamp and the screen name, so a compliance review or a customer complaint gets a picture of what the rate board showed that day rather than a log line saying a file was scheduled.

Is digital signage secure enough for a bank network?

Players connect outbound over HTTPS only, so no inbound port opens on the branch network, and a lost device is revoked from the panel. The signage system holds media and play records, never customer data. Single sign-on, the audit log and data residency are on the Network plan.

Does this work for credit unions as well as banks?

Yes. Credit union branches use the same screens for rates, member promotions, loan offers and fraud warnings, and the NCUA's Truth in Savings rule mirrors Regulation DD for rates shown on indoor signs. Nonprofit status does not change the product or the setup, only who signs the order.

How many screens does a branch usually start with?

Two: one lobby display for rates and promotions and one at the teller line for wait time and notices. That is enough to see whether customers read them and whether the rate feed holds up before committing to screens in every branch.
