Approach banker, creating excitement (9)
I believe the answer is:
adventure
'excitement' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'approach banker' is the wordplay.
'approach' becomes 'advent' (I've seen this before).
'banker' becomes 'Ure' (River Ure, something with banks).
'advent'+'ure'='ADVENTURE'
'creating' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adventure that I've seen before include "Escapade" , "Exciting or daring experience" , "spirit of enterprise" , "speculation" , "Exciting exploit" .)
