Crossword Genius

Further loan (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advance

I believe this is a double definition.

'further' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'loan' is the second definition.
(advancing is a kind of loaning)

(Other definitions for advance that I've seen before include "Go ahead - make a loan" , "Forward movement, a change for the better" , "Put forward (a theory)" , "capital" , "Lend money on security" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Times and The Guardian.
