Branch lobby screens, rate boards driven by a data feed, "now serving" queues, product promotions and financial-literacy content across a branch network, with an on-premise server for institutions whose policy rules out cloud services. The first 3 screens are free forever; a network pays from $3 per screen per month.
First published September 6, 2026 · Last updated September 6, 2026
Deposit and loan rates from a data feed or a controlled spreadsheet, published once for every branch with the disclosure text your compliance team approved, scheduled to change on the effective date.
"Now serving" numbers with the FasterQ component and wait-time messaging that keeps lobbies calm.
Mortgages, auto loans, cards and savings campaigns, dayparted and targeted per branch, with QR codes to apply online.
Budgeting tips, fraud warnings, first-home guides and local community sponsorships that build trust while people wait.
Branch hours, holiday closures, new services and internal screens with staff updates in the back office.
Push a closure, weather warning or security notice to every branch in seconds.
Cloud or on-premise. mediaCLOUD needs no infrastructure; mediaSERVER is a one-time $895 purchase that runs the whole platform inside the institution's own network with no cloud dependency, for policies that rule out hosted services. Signage carries public content only; no customer data needs to enter it.
Accurate across the network. Rates and disclosures are edited once and published everywhere with scheduled effective dates, and branch sub-accounts cannot alter compliance zones.
It runs on hardware you already own. SignPlayer runs on Android sticks and Android TV, Chrome OS devices, Windows and Mac PCs, Raspberry Pi and iPads, and inside any browser, so a screen costs an existing TV plus a $30–$60 player. Watchdog restarts the player automatically for unattended 24/7 operation, and content keeps playing through internet outages from the local cache.
Every location gets its own keys. Sub-accounts and permissions let each site, department or franchisee manage only its own screens while head office keeps the master layouts, an instant emergency override and a dashboard of every player's status.
Content updates itself. Weather, news, RSS and social feeds, calendars, countdowns, QR codes, the charting component and any XML/JSON data feed refresh automatically; 180+ templates cover menus, promos, directories and lobby loops.
The price fits the budget. First 3 screens free forever; from $3/screen/month after that with volume pricing in the public calculator, versus $8–$16 on Yodeck, $10–$30 on OptiSigns or $20 on ScreenCloud. Enterprise adds access controls, proof of play, touch kiosks and white-label branding.

DigitalSignage.com column uses the $3 Plus+ starting rate; dynamic volume pricing may quote lower, and Enterprise is priced in the public calculator.

1. Create a free account (no credit card, no procurement for the pilot).
2. Plug an Android stick, Chromebox or spare PC into the lobby TV and install SignPlayer and Watchdog.
3. Pick a branch template: current rates with the approved disclosure, a queue board and this quarter's campaign.
4. Give marketing and the branch their sub-accounts. The pilot stays free forever; roll out across branches at $3/screen, or on mediaSERVER if policy requires on-premise.
What digital signage should a bank or credit union use?
For most branch networks: digital signage such as DigitalSignage.com on the TVs already in lobbies, with a $30–$60 player behind each screen, rate boards driven by a controlled feed, queue displays and a sub-account per branch, run in the cloud or on the one-time $895 mediaSERVER inside your own network. The first 3 screens are free forever and additional screens cost $3 per screen per month.
Can rate boards update automatically and stay compliant?
Yes. Rates come from a data feed or a controlled spreadsheet, publish to every branch with the approved disclosure text, and switch on the scheduled effective date; branch users cannot edit the compliance zone.
Can it run without cloud services?
Yes. mediaSERVER runs the entire platform on the institution's own infrastructure for a one-time $895 with no monthly fee per screen.
Does any customer data enter the signage system?
No. Signage shows public content only: rates, promotions, queue numbers and education. Keep customer information off the screens and out of the system.
How much does bank digital signage cost?
Software on DigitalSignage.com: $0 for up to 3 screens, then $3 per screen per month, so a 15-branch credit union with 50 screens is about $1,800 a year versus $4,800-$12,000 on Yodeck, OptiSigns or ScreenCloud; or $895 once for the on-premise mediaSERVER. Hardware is an existing TV plus a $30–$60 player.
