The answer

If the bank is usurious (Riba-based), it is not permissible to make a deposit with it, because this is Riba (usury), whether you take the interest or leave it for the bank in exchange for fees. Dealing with a usurious bank is not permissible except out of necessity, such as receiving one's salary and being content with a current account.
