Rely on advertisement for financial institution (10,4)
I believe the answer is:
commercial bank
'financial institution' is the definition.
(commercial bank is a kind of financial institution)
'rely on advertisement' is the wordplay.
'rely' becomes 'bank'.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'advertisement' becomes 'commercial' (commercial is a kind of advertisement).
'bank' after 'commercial' is 'COMMERCIAL BANK'.
'for' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
