The answer

If a bank deals with usury (riba), it is not permissible to open an account with it or to keep money in it by choice, due to the Almighty’s saying: (And do not cooperate in sin and aggression). However, in case of necessity, such as when an employer requires opening an account in a usurious bank, then necessities permit prohibitions, with the obligation to abandon that when the necessity ceases.
