Taking gifts from the bank by the depositor

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for one who deposits money in a bank to take from this bank some gifts or the like?
Answer:
No. It is not permissible for him to take anything from the bank, because the bank is based on riba (usury or interest); it does not give you anything pure. Also, you are a depositor with them, and they want to watch over you so that you will deposit with them. This is not acceptable.
