There is no point in leaving it in the account because it will utilised by the non Muslim bank with no benefit to you or to any poor person. Utlizing interest from non Muslim is allowed according to verdicts of leading scholars ( Maraaje' of Taqleed). You can utilize the money or give it to the poor and you don't need to tell them that it is from bank interest money.
