Bankers at Zurich admitting fake (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ersatz

'fake' is the definition.
(ersatz means fake or imitation)

'bankers at zurich admitting' is the wordplay.
'admitting' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer has been hidden or admitted in the clue).
'ERSATZ' can be found hidden inside 'bankers at zurich'.

(Other definitions for ersatz that I've seen before include "Spurious" , "Mock" , "Cheap substitute or imitation" , "Artificial or inferior imitation" , "Made in imitation, from German" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
