Rely on a financial institution (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bank

This clue is a double definition.

'rely' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'financial institution' is the second definition.
(bank is a kind of financial institution)

'on a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bank that I've seen before include "Count" , "Row" , "Edge (of river) - tier (of oars)" , "Financial establishment" , "Long mound; rely (on)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
