I believe the answer is:

reiterate

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

'stress' is the definition.
(both can mean to emphasise)

'english bank raised charge' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'charge' could be 'rate' (rate is a kind of charge) and 'rate' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'rite' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'creating' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reiterate that I've seen before include "show again" , "Say it again for tire eater" , "Say something a number of times" , "Emphasise" , "Repeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
