Financial institutions (5)

I believe the answer is:

banks

'financial institutions' is the definition.
(bank is a kind of financial institution)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for banks that I've seen before include "Relies" , "Financial institutions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Irish Times.
