The answer

If the bank genuinely purchases the commodity and then sells it on installments—even at a higher price—this is a Murabaha sale, which is Islamically permissible and practiced by Islamic banks. However, if the bank does not actually purchase the commodity, but rather pays money on your behalf for you to repay with interest, then this transaction is forbidden; because it is a loan with a benefit, and that is usury (riba), and this is what conventional (ribawi) banks do.
