Really? Talk to a teller for complex products? I don't think so.  My experience is that they might refer you to a branch "platform" officer to speak with you.

Omni-channel is real.  It might be a retail term but it is very relevant to banking.  And, it is interesting that in the conversation (except for the term) you validate the omni-channel requirement for banks.

The point of omni-channel is to tie together the un-integrated channels to beable to carry on a conversation with the customer seamlessly. Granted that some channels are more suited to certain types of conversations but they need to be tied together for a seamless experience for the customer.
