I believe the answer is:

tab

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

'account' is the definition.
(I know that tab is a type of account)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tab that I've seen before include "Flap; meal bill" , "The bill in a restaurant" , "ticket" , "Tally of orders in bar" , "Flap; illicit drug pill (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
