It is permissible to open a savings or current account and use the advance payment (cash advance) ATM card with a branch of a usurious bank, if its transactions are compliant with Islamic . However, if it engages in usurious dealings, it is not permissible to transact with it except in cases of extreme necessity, such as protecting money from theft or usurpation. In such a case, the money should be placed in a current account that yields no profit. If one is compelled to place it in a savings account due to the unavailability of an alternative, then the interest gained must be disposed of by spending it on charitable causes.
