No.
As far as I can see here, people with more OM can gain more from this. Essentially putting higher level players even higher. Which is stupid.
The way it stands is that this is basically a system where people with OM can make more OM easier.
If you want more OM than rest points give you, focus on improving your writing to earn bonuses for good stories, and/or write with others.
OM is earned solely by improving or helping this RP site. Be it writing with friends and building a good community, adding more development to your own characters to make the OV more lively, or doing monthly voting or refering people to make the community larger. (The only exception I can think of was the DA betting, which only had smallish prize amounts and was more like a fun one-off/rare thing)
This bank thing is just a low effort way to increase your OM gain. From an outside point of view it just looks like you want more OM yourself. Which is true for most people here. We all love collecting internet points. Rest points are an incentive to write more. Banking, even if it only gave you interest when writing, would likely not - unless there was a limited amount of "interest" that could be earned per week. And even then, it's just giving your a bonus for having more OM, or more unspent OM.
That's not even considering the load on staff to make this work, or the irl money/time behind implementing the system. It's either rewarding people for not spending as much OM, or rewarding people for simply having more OM.
So, no. I might not actually hold any authority, but I can very safely say that this will definitely be a no, regardless of if people have to write to get the interest - unless I'm missing something.
The point is, the rest points system works. Unless you can explain in detail, with good arguments, why banking would be better and worth the workload and time to add/switch to, this is 100%* going to be a no.
