Understanding Bank Fraud
Bank fraud can sometimes be mistaken for bank robbery because it involves wrongfully taking property, assets, or money from a bank or another type of financial institution. However, these two crimes are not identical. Bank fraud is often committed over time or in another way that allows the loss of money to go unnoticed by its owners. In the United States, this is a federal criminal offense.

Types of Bank Fraud
Countless types of schemes have been employed over the years to defraud banks of their money. Here are some common methods used to commit bank fraud:
- Falsely assuming the identity of a bank inspector
- Stealing the identity of a bank’s client
- Account skimming
- Creating false loans or loan applications
- Check fraud
In many fraud cases, it can be difficult to find the real culprit. Thus, the bank or financial institution may panic and falsely accuse you of bank fraud. Because this is a serious crime, it deserves a serious defense.
