Bond puts me in the money (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cement

'bond' is the definition.
(cement can mean to stick or bond)

'me in the money' is the wordplay.
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'me' going within 'cent' is 'CEMENT'.

'puts' is the link.

(Other definitions for cement that I've seen before include "Bond firmly" , "Material used by builders and dentists" , "Powder used to make concrete" , "Brick fixer" , "Stuff that binds or bonds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
