British banker requiring separate note (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

severn

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

'separate note' is the wordplay.
'separate' becomes 'sever' (severing is a kind of separating).
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation**).
'sever'+'n'='SEVERN'

'requiring' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for severn that I've seen before include "Britian's longest river" , "Longest UK river" , "River veers N" , "Nerves (anag.)" , "Gloucester's river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
