There are multiple reasons why consumers choose particular banks and credit unions, but without a doubt, the customer experience at the different points of contact in the financial institution, is one of the fundamental. Santander, one of the world’s largest and most revered banks, chose digital signage as a way to reflect their innovative approach and transform their in-lobby consumer experience.
Santander selected Korbyt’s digital signage solutions in partnership with OpenEye Global to build a comprehensive digital merchandising and lobby signage program for 700+ banking locations.

Then, the banking digital signage software needed to offer the bank a way to:
- Project a consistent (and modern) brand presence within each branch

To work efficiently, OpenEye Global designed a signage system to integrate with the client’s help desk and IT department to ensure all 700+ branch locations are operating within the parameters of the program. If there was any interruption in the network, a ticket generated for testing and quality control, with a 99.9% resolve rate within 24 hours.
Being in the digital signage products and services game for 10+ years, OpenEye Global knew the right hardware, software and content were all equally critical needs to implement a successful digital signage programs for financial institutions. They tapped trusted partner, Korbyt, to promote the content through their proprietary digital signage software.

Efficiently promote content
One of the main value benefits of digital signage communications is the ability for Santander to update and deliver the content of their whole network of screens in a simple way. With just a few clicks they can define what to display and where, without having to personally go to each branch to modify the content. This helps reduce costs and optimize digital resources.
Streamline real time communication
The banking signage solution also provided a centralized content management platform for Santander’s various channels, allowing for seamless integration with Santander’s marketing department and partners to create a content strategy that worked as an extension of their other marketing efforts.
Segment customer communication
Screens located within the banks allow the distribution of content, offers and promotions, segmenting customer communication by locations, regions and time zones. The content can also integrate with external financial systems so that relevant information for customers can be displayed in real time.
Digital Signage for banks is a great way to increase customer engagement, reduce perceived wait times, and deliver a positive branch experience while informing customers about your products and services.
