If the lump sum amount for banking procedures is real, then this loan is permissible and not usurious, according to the Islamic Fiqh Academy: "Lump-sum fees that are not tied to the loan amount or its duration are not considered usurious interest. Any increase beyond the actual services is forbidden because it is usury."
