The answer

If the loan is a Qard Hasan (a benevolent loan without interest), there is no objection to employees taking it, and the dealings of their institution with an interest-based bank do not harm them, because they themselves have not engaged in usury. The employees are not parties to the forbidden contracts and agreements; rather, the sin falls upon the institution and the bank.
