Dishonest retailer gives account to the bank clerk (11)
I believe the answer is:
storyteller
'dishonest retailer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'account to the bank clerk' is the wordplay.
'account' becomes 'story' (synonyms).
'to the bank clerk' becomes 'teller' (synonyms).
'story'+'teller'='STORYTELLER'
'gives' is the link.
(Other definitions for storyteller that I've seen before include "Narrator of tale, liar" , "Relater of tales; liar" , "novelist?" , "Dishonest retailer" , "Narrator (possibly a liar?)" .)
