Ah, you need to change bank. I've been with the Indeterminate Bank ("the bank that likes to say 'maybe'") for a couple of years now. I gave them an unspecified deposit with an associated probability when I opened the account, they pay me not firm interest like other banks but in expectation, based on the normalized integral of their possible interest rates. Meanwhile they've invested my money-potential in futures and options, which gives them a solid reliable meta-income stream. All my monthly statements are recursive and have to be printed on fractional dimension paper which is nice 'cos it's got a lovely crinkly feel. They don't have any branches but are quick to respond to emails and their website is a pleasant grey-blue colour. UCL weren't slow to realise the tax breaks paying me directly to the bank entail, I now get paid in increased probabilities rather than actual amounts: I am asymptotically approaching the certainty of a modest fortune. Sadly the IRS have caught onto this and from next year will start invoicing me with a cumulative annual probability that they will come into my house and take away all my things.
