The answer

Consuming usury is one of the major sins for which Allah has threatened those who consume it with war and the destruction of wealth and its blessings in this world and the hereafter. Therefore, it is not permissible to deposit money in usurious banks and take interest from them. Rather, one must invest in permissible matters.
