Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible to work in a bank as a probationary officer or a clerk or if I prepare for a bank exam with an intention of working there. Is that preparation permissible. If I intend to work in a bank with an intention of getting married and if I intend to leave that job after marriage. In such a case, What is halal and what is haram?

Bismillaah

A: The main operation of a bank revolves around interest and usury. Hence, one should refrain from taking employment in such an institute. 

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
