Little money in bank of late (8)
I believe the answer is:
recently
'of late' is the definition.
('recently' can be a synonym of 'of late')
'little money in bank' is the wordplay.
'little money' becomes 'cent' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'bank' becomes 'rely' (I've seen this before).
'cent' placed into 'rely' is 'RECENTLY'.
(Other definitions for recently that I've seen before include "Adverb meaning not long ago" , "Not so long since" , "Happening not long ago" , "Of late" , "In the near past" .)
