BrightSign and Korbyt Pitch Joint Signage Platform for Bank Branches
2026-08-02 · via BrightSign
BrightSign and Korbyt are marketing a combined media player and CMS package aimed specifically at banks and credit unions, replacing printed rate sheets and posters with centrally managed screens in branch lobbies. The pairing puts BrightSign hardware behind Korbyt's content management software, sold as a single package for financial institutions that want to update rates, promotions and compliance messaging across multiple branches without manual sign changes.
According to the companies, the two have already worked together on a deployment for a global bank covering more than 5,600 branches and over 9,700 digital signage endpoints, which they say delivered segmented messaging and real-time updates while cutting manual work for branch staff. Neither company's release specifies pricing, hardware models, or a timeline for this case study.
For operators, the pitch is familiar: one dashboard for content scheduling, device monitoring and failover, with Korbyt handling playlist automation and pulling approved assets from repositories such as Microsoft SharePoint or a digital asset management system. BrightSign says its players offer remote management and are "AI-ready," though the announcement does not detail what that means in practice for banking use cases.
What's Being Promised
The companies list the usual benefits of moving off print: faster campaign rollouts, lower printing and distribution costs, and more consistent branding across locations. They also point to compliance as a selling point, since centralized playlist control can help ensure disclosures and rate information stay current across a branch network, an area where regional banks and credit unions face regulatory scrutiny that national chains have more resources to manage.
The release frames this as a way for smaller institutions to get enterprise-level communication tools without the IT staff a national bank would have. That is a reasonable argument for any CMS vendor selling into a fragmented, multi-location market, and it puts BrightSign and Korbyt in the same conversation as other signage vendors already courting the banking vertical, though the announcement does not name competitors or explain why this pairing beats alternatives already in branches today.
What's Missing
The announcement is a co-branded blog post authored by a Korbyt executive rather than a product launch, so there is no new hardware, no new CMS feature, and no pricing disclosed. The 5,600-branch case study is the only concrete data point offered, and it is not clear from the release whether that deployment is complete, ongoing, or represents new business. Banks evaluating this pairing will need to ask both companies for specifics on cost, timeline and support before treating this as more than a marketing collaboration.

Transform the Customer Experience in Banking
Regional banks and credit unions are transforming the in-branch experience with dynamic, remotely managed digital signage solutions. But for the switch to be worthwhile, banks need to be confident that their digital signage will be easy to deploy on day one and evolve as their needs change.
BrightSign and Korbyt have collaborated on a joint solution based on years of experience crafting digital signage solutions for banking institutions. With our combined expertise, banks can deliver real-time, targeted content that strengthens community relationships, ensures compliance, and modernizes branch communications — without adding operational complexity.
Local banks and credit unions have long been the anchors of their communities — trusted advisors helping families save, small businesses grow, and neighbors invest in their futures. But customer expectations are shifting fast. Today’s visitors want the same digital convenience they enjoy online when they walk into their local branch.
Static posters, printed rate sheets, and brochures no longer capture attention or reflect the responsiveness customers expect. To stay competitive, regional institutions are modernizing their lobbies and branches with banking digital signage solutions that combine human service with real-time digital engagement.
How Modern Digital Signage Improves Customer Experience
This transformation isn’t about replacing personal relationships — it’s about enhancing them. Dynamic, data-driven content can strengthen trust, highlight community involvement, and make every visit more relevant and valuable for the customer. It’s part of a larger push to elevate the customer experience in banking through meaningful, technology-enhanced interactions.
Digital signage allows financial institutions to move from one-size-fits-all messaging to adaptive, localized storytelling. Instead of manually replacing posters or rate cards, teams can update content instantly across all or select branches from one central location.
Real-time rate displays that update automatically across all screens
Localized promotions for a particular region or branch
Timely educational content, such as seasonal budgeting tips or cybersecurity reminders
This agility reinforces brand trust through transparency and responsiveness. A branch can display new content quickly and manage it all from a single, secure CMS.
And with Korbyt’s ability to pull approved assets directly from repositories like Microsoft SharePoint or a digital asset management solution (DAM), teams can even automate playlist updates, ensuring consistent storytelling and compliance without extra manual effort.
Delivering a great customer experience in banking requires relevance and true connection with the community. Digital signage makes that possible by allowing branches to blend digital efficiency with a human touch.
When customers see content that reflects their community and values, they stay longer and engage more deeply. Branch teams also gain a communication tool that supports human connection, helping staff start conversations, highlight services, and create a sense of belonging.
To that end, today’s banks are using screens to:
Showcase community initiatives like sponsorships, scholarships, or volunteer programs
Display customer testimonials or local success stories that inspire trust
Highlight events like loan workshops, college planning sessions, or credit-building webinars
For growing financial networks, maintaining content across multiple locations used to be a logistical challenge. With BrightSign and Korbyt, it’s now a seamless, centralized process.
BrightSign’s remote management and monitoring ensures players are easily deployed, and stay operational, while Korbyt’s CMS ensures approved content and playlists flow automatically to targeted branch screens. The result is efficient, reliable operations that keep every branch aligned.
Through remote content management, teams can:
Schedule campaigns and updates across all locations
Deploy players and control device performance and connectivity through a single dashboard
Ensure accurate and compliant information on every screen
This reduces manual workload and levels the playing field. Smaller banks gain the same communication agility that national institutions enjoy without the large staff, technical support, or overhead.
No longer reserved for global or even national banks, digital signage has become one of the most practical entry points for banking digital transformation. Modern platforms like BrightSign and Korbyt make it affordable, scalable, and easy to manage.
Reduced printing and distribution costs with instant digital updates
Faster campaign rollouts with no waiting for printed materials
Improved ROI through more relevant, data-driven messaging
By starting with digital signage solutions, local banks can modernize branch communications and then expand into connected workplace experiences such as employee messaging , meeting room signage , and internal dashboards — all within the same Korbyt CMS environment.
