The answer

It is not permissible to take a loan from a bank in exchange for transferring your salary to it or depositing money in it. This is because it is considered lending to the bank in return for obtaining a loan from it, which is forbidden by Islamic law due to the jurists' saying: "Every loan that draws a benefit is usury (riba)."
