I believe the answer is:

selfish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inconsiderate' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'bank is putting husband down' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' is present in the answer.
'husband' could be 'h' (abbreviation) and 'h' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'self' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for selfish that I've seen before include "Ungenerous" , "Concerned chiefly with one's own interests" , "Mercenary" , "Concerned only with one's personal welfare" , "Putting own interests first" .)
