The answer

It is not permissible to work in interest-based banks (riba-based banks) because it involves assisting in sin, and Allah has forbidden cooperation in sin and aggression. The justifications a person might mention for such work are from the embellishments of Satan. Therefore, a Muslim should not exchange Allah's covenant for a small price, for what is with Allah is better and more lasting.
