The answer

Working in usurious banks is unequivocally forbidden, based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression," and the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes Riba (usury), the one who pays it, the one who writes it down, and its two witnesses." A man is the maintainer of his family, so he must prevent his wife from this forbidden work, and he is sinful if he does not do so.
