Crossword Genius

Rely on financial institution (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bank

I believe 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' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bank that I've seen before include "Sloping land" , "Long mound; rely (on)" , "store" , "River's edge" , "Financial institution - riverside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
