Saving oneself from interest

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I am a software engineer working in a University. The salary is going to my bank account, please explain to me how to save myself from sood (interest). Currently my money is being saved in a local bank.

A: If this is the only way of you receiving your salary then you should give the amount of interest you receive away in charity to some poor person without the intention of reward.
