As I understand the definition, to constitute a combo your entire strategy should revolve around just those cards.
So Native Village/Bridge or Beggar/Gardens are combos because you don't need to buy any other cards to win.
So, if Storyteller/Bank can be called a Combo (rather than a synergy) it needs to work without any other support (apart from maybe basic treasures).
I can see two problems.
First, if you have too high a treasure to Storyteller ratio, it's not going to fire every turn.
Especially a problem as you start to green.
Second, you need a source of +buy.
Getting your Banks up to $5+ is going to be pretty frustrating if you're spending $20 a turn just to buy Provinces.
