If the bank is Islamic, then there is no harm in accepting the offer. However, if it is an interest-based (usurious) bank, then it is not permissible to accept, because that would be assisting in sin and transgression. Allah Almighty says: (And do not cooperate in sin and transgression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty).
