I believe the answer is:

decree

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

'order' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'bank almost at the end of month' is the wordplay.
'bank almost' becomes 'ree' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'at the end of' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go at the end of others).
'month' becomes 'dec' (abbreviation for December).
'ree' after 'dec' is 'DECREE'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decree that I've seen before include "Legally-binding edict" , "Official order that has the force of law" , "Formal order or ruling" , "Legally-binding command or decision" , "Legally binding command or decision" .)
