Working in companies that sometimes deal in interest : working in a company owned by a bank

Fatawa Question

Dear Sheikh, I'm currently working for an investment broker that is owned by a commercial bank. My responsibility is, to disburse the fund such as checks or wires to the clients that sell their stock, this money also accumulates some interest in it, but different people who calculate the interest and add to the request. What I do is, to pay in a lump sum amount to the clients. My question is, is it permissible for me to work for this company ? Because, I read in one Hadith has mentioned that the people who are witness to interest are also committing the same sin as the people who are paying or taking interest. Is my position similar to this Hadith that the prophet mentioned ? Please advise. Jazakallahu Khairan.
