I'm not sure I would call bank rounding the most accurate. Maybe the
most fair. Banks have an interest in not losing fractions of monetary
units due to rounding. Fixed precision is used and it could basically
be integer math with a decimal point placed somewhere.

Oh, and I claim this as consistent.
