Zakat is obligatory on bank deposits if they reach the nisab (minimum threshold) and a full year (hawl) passes on them. It is not permissible to delay its payment. It is not permissible to place deposits in interest-based (usurious) banks. If they have been placed there, they must be withdrawn immediately, and the interest disposed of in charitable causes.
