British banks maybe make kitchen appliances (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blenders

'kitchen appliances' is the definition.

'british banks maybe' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'banks maybe' becomes 'lenders'.
'b'+'lenders'='BLENDERS'

'make' acts as a link.

(Another definition for blenders that I've seen is " They mix tea, say".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
