Banker right to pursue creative work (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oder

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

'banker' is the definition.
(I have seen 'German banker' mean 'oder' so perhaps 'banker' could also mean 'oder')

'right to pursue creative work' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to pursue' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'creative work' becomes 'ode' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'creative' bit.).
'r' put after 'ode' is 'ODER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oder that I've seen before include "River flowing into the Baltic" , "German river that empties into the Baltic Sea" , "German and Polish river" , "River on border of Poland and Germany" , "East European river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
