The answer

Good intentions do not permit engaging in usury, because usury is devoid of blessing. It is not permissible to deposit money in usurious banks, whether domestic or foreign, because it constitutes aiding and assisting in usury. What is obligatory is repentance, withdrawing the money, and disposing of the interest in charitable causes.
