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

'make allowances for what the bank will do with my money' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'make allowances for what the bank will do with my money' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'make' could be 'takein' ('take in' can be a synonym of 'make') and 'takein' is present in the answer.
'money' could be 'account' (account is a kind of money) and 'account' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'to' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
