Promotes loans (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advances

This clue is a double definition.

'promotes' is the first definition.
('advance' can be a synonym of 'promote')

'loans' is the second definition.
(advancing is a kind of loaning)

(Other definitions for advances that I've seen before include "Proceeds" , "Moves forward in amorous initiatives?" , "Progresses" , "More than one sub" , "Loans" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
