The answer

It is not permissible to deposit money in this bank after its merger with an interest-based bank, because the merger necessitates the practice of usury and prohibited contracts. Similarly, it is forbidden to assist in such matters by depositing money or otherwise, due to the general import of Allah’s statement: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
