Your work in the company that empowers the government is permissible, and it involves assisting in delivering rights and wages. There appears to be no impediment to continuing in it, as there is no connection between your work and the relationship between the government and the bank. Your work itself is permissible and provides permissible benefits, and the loan process is extraneous to the program.
