Financiers and bankers hanging around bar? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sandbank

'bar?' is the definition.
(I know that sandbank is a type of bar)

'financiers and bankers hanging around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates a hidden word.
'SANDBANK' is hidden within 'financiers and bankers hanging'.

(Other definitions for sandbank that I've seen before include "Shallows in sea/river" , "Problem for river navigation" , "Deposit" , "Shallow area in sea or river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
