Marketing Banners

Marketing banners are embeddable components designed to be placed outside the White-Label App — on dashboards, home screens, analytics pages, or anywhere your customers already spend time. They surface the banking offering to users who haven't yet engaged with the full banking experience, driving discovery and account adoption.

This section provides ready-to-use promo cards, sidebar recommendations, and hero banners you can drop into your platform.

Each promo card and sidebar recommendation supports two layout modes via the container-type attribute:

  • Expanded — a full-width layout with imagery and descriptive text, suited for prominent placements like dashboards or home screens.
  • Compact — a smaller, condensed layout that fits into tighter spaces like sidebars, cards, or secondary panels.

Both layouts contain the same messaging and call-to-action — choose the one that best fits the available space.

We encourage you to add these banners to your email signatures and outreach emails to drive adoption of the banking platform. Download a PNG of the themed banner from Storybook and embed it with a hyperlink to the banking experience in your platform — see Embedding banners in outreach emails below for the end-to-end flow, including click tracking.

Embedding banners in outreach emails

Web components can't be rendered inside an email body, so to use any of these banners in an outreach email or email signature you'll export them as PNG images and embed them as hyperlinked images.

The recommended flow:

  1. Open the relevant Storybook story linked from each banner section above and customize it with the Controls and Unit Theme addons.
  2. Open the Download PNG tab in the same Storybook panel (next to Controls) and click the download button to save a PNG of the currently rendered banner.
  3. Host the downloaded image somewhere your email recipients can reach (such as your CDN or any public asset host).
  4. In your email, wrap the image with an <a> element whose href points to your banking experience — typically your Banking Page URL, your marketing landing page, or your application form URL, depending on the audience:
<a href="https://your-banking.example.com">
<img src="https://your-cdn.example.com/hero-banner.png" alt="Get started with your business account" />
</a>

The exported PNG mirrors whatever you configured in Storybook at the moment of capture — theme colors and typography, org-name, balance-variant, banner type / variant, container-type, and so on. For the Promo Card, make sure logo-url points to a CORS-readable host or the logo will appear blank in the exported image.

Tracking banner clicks

To measure which emails and banner variants are driving customers into your banking experience, add tracking parameters to the link's href. The most common approach is UTM parameters, which are recognized by analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, and Segment.

A UTM-tagged hyperlink looks like this:

<a href="https://your-banking.example.com/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=q2_activation&utm_content=hero-banner-1">
<img src="https://your-cdn.example.com/hero-banner.png" alt="Get started with your business account" />
</a>

where:

  • utm_source is the sending channel or tool, e.g. newsletter, signature, or lifecycle.
  • utm_medium is the medium — use email for outreach emails and signatures.
  • utm_campaign is the specific campaign or send, e.g. q2_activation, welcome_series.
  • utm_content is the specific banner variant or placement so you can compare them in your reports, e.g. hero-banner-1, promo-card-expanded, sidebar-1-compact.

When a customer clicks the image, the parameters are forwarded as query string values to the destination URL and recorded by whichever analytics tool you have instrumented on the landing page. Unit does not collect or report on these click events on your behalf — tracking and attribution live entirely in your own analytics stack.

Success

If you A/B test banner variants in the same email, give each variant a distinct utm_content value so you can compare click-through rates side by side in your analytics dashboard.

Note: When banners are displayed, the website footer must include the following disclosure: "[Organization name] is a financial technology company and is not a bank. Banking services are provided by i3 Bank, Member FDIC." If APY is referenced in the banner or related page, the footer must also include: "Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is variable and subject to change after account opening. Rate is compounded monthly and credited monthly."
