Small deposit complete in bank (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depend

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

'bank' is the definition.
(I know that bank can be written as depend)

'small deposit complete' is the wordplay.
'small deposit' becomes 'dep' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'complete' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'dep'+'end'='DEPEND'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for depend that I've seen before include "Bank" , "Rely (upon)" , "Be unable to do without, rely" , "Put trust (in)" , "Trust confidently, rely on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
