Money lodged in bank not long ago (8)
I believe the answer is:
recently
'not long ago' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'money lodged in bank' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'lodged in' indicates putting letters inside.
'bank' becomes 'rely' (to bank on is to rely on).
'cent' going inside 'rely' is 'RECENTLY'.
(Other definitions for recently that I've seen before include "Not so long since" , "Happening not long ago" , "Of late" , "Adverb meaning not long ago" , "Lately" .)
