AT&T is providing sophisticated digital signage and network services to more than 1,100 Citizens Bank branches. The AT&T digital signage will provide features on retirement planning, management of student loan information and similar topics.
The carrier is working with Cineplex Digital Media on the project, which features the provisioning of the branches with screens with custom content. The signage will also feature community-based activity information and local weather, news, sports, entertainment and stock news.

AT&T is running the project, which includes analyzing the bank’s network architecture needs and supporting design and documentation support. “We’ve provided technology solutions to Citizens Bank for almost two decades,” said Tony Leggio, the vice president of Global Business Industry Solutions, in a press release. “Our world-class technology coupled with Citizens Bank’s outstanding products and services create a winning customer experience.”
The first phase, which consists of the installation of single and dual screens at 1,047 branches, is complete. The remaining branches will get the screens this year. Citizens Bank already is a significant client of AT&T. It uses the carrier’s security, applications and voice data and mobility services.
