Large sum of money bank employee gives palm reader? (7-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fortune-teller

'palm reader?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'large sum of money bank employee' is the wordplay.
'large sum of money' becomes 'fortune' (a fortune is a large amount of money).
'bank employee' becomes 'teller' (as in a bank teller).
'fortune'+'teller'='FORTUNE-TELLER'

'gives' is the link.

(Other definitions for fortune-teller that I've seen before include "one could predict a lot" , "Palm reader" , "Soothsayer" , "Predictor of one's future" , "Foreteller of destinies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
