The answer

The ruling on profits from branches of interest-based banks depends on the branch's adherence to Sharia principles and its independence from the main bank. If the branch is compliant and independent, then there is no harm in benefiting from its profits. However, if it does not adhere to the rulings of Sharia and uses the Islamic description as a cover, then its profits are unlawful interest (riba) and must be disposed of by giving them to the poor, public interests, and charitable causes.
