(NASDAQ: FISV), the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today the availability of its latest branch solution, Aperio&#8482 Teller Seller. With Aperio Teller Seller from Fiserv, branch tellers are given the information to add to transaction handling the ability to perform key service and cross-sell activities appropriate for the end-customer's needs.

"Financial institutions realise that the branch is still the optimal place to take advantage of one-to-one contact with customers, but need to shift from a transaction-only mindset to one that is focused on serving the end-customer and providing them with the opportunity to purchase relevant banking products. To accomplish this, the bank's employees must have access to customer-specific knowledge," said Tony Catalfano, division president, Bank Solutions, Fiserv.

Additionally, the solution offers generation of referrals, a cross-channel customer engagement history and a record of significant events in the customer/financial institution relationship.
