This comment actually doesn’t make sense since there’s always been a price to communicate outside of face to face (postage, telephone, ISP, etc.). I get the spirit of it, though.
Switch to a credit union. If your bank is publicly traded then a portion of their profits are being syphoned away to rich douchbags, instead of services to customers.
My bank is strictly online and have never had to pay extra (for now) for any kind of extended service nor ever had to speak to a rep. I kinda like it that way.
I haven’t had to pay extra yet, but I am anticipating that being a thing soon. But I do have to drive further to get to a bank that still has a notary.
I communicate way more face to face than in another way. So if I read communicating, I’m not thinking of calling, emailing, letterwriting or anything not face to face.
Soon you’ll have to pay for the privilege of communicating with a human instead of an LLM chat bot.

They will call it “Priority Support” and it will incur an extra fee.
That’s too easy. Surely we could squeeze in another middleware to maximize profit?
Introducing:

…Who is getting payed shit wages for the privilege of having that job
You breath this much? You pay this much! You breath more? Then you pay more!
I don’t event want to talk to another human for free. Why would I pay for it.
Well, you’re talking to one now!
Is that Popeye as a child?
Thank you for that, I needed a good chuckle today.
Because there is a slight chance of them resolving your issue…

My bank recently switched all of its tellers with a row of ATMs inside the bank. I think this is kind of what they’re talking about.

It is a credit union… we switched to them ~12 years ago because Bank of America was being an asshole with their fees.
