Is it permissible for an accountant to work for a company that deals with usurious banks by opening a current account free of usury to facilitate the import of goods?

Working in companies that deal with usurious banks is fraught with -related warnings, and opening a current account in a usurious bank is not permissible because it falls under cooperating in sin. However, if there is no Islamic alternative and there is an urgent need for it, such as to facilitate transactions and safeguard money, then it is permissible.
