A name in financial, banking affairs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alban

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in financial banking affairs' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ALBAN' can be found hidden inside 'financial banking affairs'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alban that I've seen before include "Ancient Scottish kingdom" , "First Christian martyr in England" , "-- Berg, composer" , "early martyr" , "Saintly type" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
