Prohibition of Riba and its rationale : is it permissible to get interest from banks, they are not poor ?

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatu Allah : I would like to ask you (Jaz’akum Allah Khayran) about banking transactions and the system of interest. I’m placing some money in a deposit account, because I think that it is the safest way of keeping money and getting some returns on it, at least to compensate for the decline in monetary value and I also said to convince myself (after all banks are not poor). Does this kind of practice look convincing according to Islam ? Please give me a firm answer. Thank you
