Borrowing from a bank with interest is forbidden usury (riba), and its perpetrator is threatened with divine punishment, according to the of Jabir, in which the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed the consumer of usury and its feeder. The feeder of usury is the one who borrows with interest, so if he knows of its prohibition, he deserves to be cast out from the mercy of Allah.
