The answer

If the newly introduced transactions of the bank are -compliant, then there is no objection to dealing with it. However, the client must not determine the permissibility or impermissibility of a transaction based on the bank's statement. Rather, they should consult scholars, as Allah Almighty says: "So ask the people of the message if you do not know." The decisive factor is the reality of things, not their names.
