What's left in bank brings stability (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balance

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

'stability' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'what's left in bank' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'al' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'al' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'brings' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for balance that I've seen before include "Weighing device" , "Rest" , "Equilibrium or steady position" , "Surplus" , "Sign" .)
