'where' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'bank will accept german capital all right' is the wordplay.
'will accept' is an insertion indicator.
'capital' indicates taking the first letters.
'all right' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
The first letter of 'german' is 'g'.
'bank' placed around 'g' is 'bangk'.
'bangk'+'ok'='BANGKOK'

'the' is the link.
