Woodland dweller's bank, said to have not much money (7)

I believe the answer is:

roebuck

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

'woodland dweller's' is the definition.
(type of deer)

'said to have not much money' is the wordplay.
'said' becomes 'roe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to have' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'not much money' becomes 'buck' (a single dollar).
'roe'+'buck'='ROEBUCK'

'bank' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
