What Constitutes Bank Fraud?

Bank fraud – defined as the use of fraud to obtain property including money and other assets held by a financial institution – can come in a variety of different forms. These include:

• Overestimating the value of real estate during appraisal
• Fraudulent loan applications
• Empty deposit envelopes left in ATMs
• Duplication of credit card information
• Forged documents

Bank fraud is also a crime that could be tried on the state or federal level, and the punishments you could receive for a guilty verdict can be severe. On the federal level, you could face penalties that include decades of imprisonment, thousands of dollars in fines or potentially both.

Because the forms this crime can take are broad, building a case using the particulars of the charges is essential. This can require an attorney that has experience in navigating complex financial transactions and using the details of your case to fight back against these charges.
