Put your finger on how to raise money (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

touch

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

'to raise money' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'put your finger on' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'on' could be 'to' and 'to' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'how' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for touch that I've seen before include "To ask for loan" , "Sense; affect" , "Deftness" , "off pitch" , "kiss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
