The answer

There is no objection to an employee opening a current account in a Riba-based bank if they are compelled to do so for their salary to be deposited. They must withdraw their balance immediately. However, if there is no such need, it is not permissible to open such an account. There is no harm in using the bank's Visa card at other banks' ATMs and charging a fee for that.
