Greedy to rely on kid’s savings here? (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

piggy bank

'kid's savings here?' is the definition.
(a child might keep money in a piggy bank)

'greedy to rely on' is the wordplay.
'greedy' becomes 'piggy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to rely' becomes 'bank'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'piggy'+'bank'='PIGGY BANK'

(Other definitions for piggy bank that I've seen before include "Porcine penny collector" , "There may be money in this" , "Saving facility for young swine?" , "Money box (for swine?)" , "Small saver's receptacle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
