Money put in bank lately (8)
I believe the answer is:
recently
'lately' is the definition.
(I know that lately can be written as recently)
'money put in bank' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'cent' (eg denomination of dollars).
'put in' indicates putting letters inside.
'bank' becomes 'rely' (to bank on is to rely on).
'cent' inserted into 'rely' is 'RECENTLY'.
(Other definitions for recently that I've seen before include "Not so long since" , "Lately" , "Happening not long ago" , "In the near past" , "Of late" .)
