Tired of Outdated, Static ATM Drive-Up and Branch Signage? A person holding up a card to an ATM.

Executive Summary

Today’s competitive environment demands more than static messaging. Whether outside financial institutions, car wash drive-up lanes or crowded stadiums, the ability to adapt content in real time, centrally manage displays and deliver targeted messaging has become an expectation.

Despite this, many organizations remain constrained by traditional signage. Static, outdated content that is labor-intensive to update creates branding inconsistencies across locations and offers no real-time control or customization. The result is reduced accessibility, diminished customer engagement and operational inefficiencies that can directly impact business performance.

Real-World Applications

Use Case: Financial Institutions
In today’s fast-paced environment, financial institutions benefit from dynamic, unified communication at every customer touchpoint. Traditional signage at drive-up lanes, inside branches or at entry points can quickly become outdated, is difficult to update and often fails to effectively engage or inform customers.

Example Approach
Digital signage can transform the customer experience across the entire branch. At drive-up ATMs or ITMs, it can deliver real-time content such as hours, closures, emergency alerts, promotional offers and compliance messages directly to customers in their vehicles.

Inside the branch, displays can offer engaging visuals, financial tips, product spotlights and community news in lobbies and waiting areas, keeping visitors informed and engaged. At the entry, signage can welcome visitors, display branch hours, provide wayfinding assistance and share timely announcements — ensuring a positive and informed experience from the moment they arrive.
