Alternatively, you can upgrade it for 50 pearls = $500,000. 5 upgrades = $2.5M total. In answer to the first question, before the scrolls, I'd have said no, mainly because I would rarely rarely made use of the 5 hours, so when I first played this I did upgrade but without cash, just waited, and then had to spend $846K per repair vs $340K. I resented upgrading because of that. So on my second game, I have not upgraded the Bank (I have upgraded my BC tho because the upgrade costs and repair costs are so low, and yet so often I would be playing late at night with my non-upgraded BC saying it had 1, 2, 3, 4 hours to go before collection, and if it was upgraded I could have collected it already, but that wasn't the case for then Bank for me).

But now Repair scrolls cost 20 pearls = $200,000 (or time to collect pearls). ie The scroll repair cost is less even than a non-upgraded Bank's normal repair cost. So using upgrade and repair scrolls it is worth it. Without the scrolls, no way. (My opinion).
