Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
The general ruling regarding allowing the bank to use one’s property is:
If the bank is allowed to use the premises for free, then it will not be permissible, as there will be a direct involvement of the property in Haraam.
If the bank is allowed to use the premises on rent, then it will be Makrooh (undesirable), because, although the property is not directly involved in Haraam, yet the bank is being assisted by renting the property to them.
If one has designed the property to suit the purpose of banking, and his sole object was to facilitate banks, then giving out the property on rent to the bank will be Makrooh Tahrimi (close to Haraam).
Jawahirul Fiqh Vol:2 Pg:457-462 (Maktabah Darul Uloom Karachi)
In the situation mentioned in the query, besides indirectly assisting the bank by providing a place, you are also directly assisting the bank, by providing them customers, etc. In this way the business will play a major role in the Haraam earnings of the bank. This type of assistance to Haraam is not permissible in Shariah.
And Allah knows best
