The answer

If the transaction with the bank involves the bank purchasing shares and selling them to the customer at a specified price, registering them in the customer’s name, then this is a valid and permissible sales transaction, provided the shares are permissible. This is not considered a loan but rather a sale. However, if the transaction involves the bank paying the price of the shares on behalf of the customer, to be recovered from him with interest, then this is usury (riba).
