The answer

It is forbidden to deal with usurious banks and to deposit money in them. Commercial insurance is also forbidden, except in cases of necessity or compulsion. If you are compelled to deposit your jewelry and find no alternative other than the bank, then it is permissible for you to do so, with the obligation to cease dealing with them immediately once the necessity is no longer present.
