Answer:

 It is interesting to know that there is such an option. If this is indeed true, you wouldn’t have a problem, because all the banks in Israel have a general heter iska. It is however preferable fr you to sign a private heter iska with the bank, when signing up for the program, or opening up an account. Having said that, all the options are all permitted, and the same.
