The answer

It is not permissible for a Muslim to take usurious interest or to benefit from it in any way, based on the Almighty's saying: (O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of usury, if you should be believers). And whoever benefits from it has not abandoned usury, just as merely depositing money in usurious banks is impermissible due to the cooperation in sin and aggression involved.
