Crossword Genius

Around tree, indicates sources of money (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cashpoints

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

'sources of money' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'around tree indicates' is the wordplay.
'around' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'tree' becomes 'ash' (ash is a kind of tree).
'indicates' becomes 'points' ('point' can be a synonym of 'indicate').
'c'+'ash'+'points'='CASHPOINTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cashpoints that I've seen is " ATMs".)
