Bank Fraud

Bank fraud consists typically of filing a false loan document that overstates the offender’s income or assets, or who uses the funds for something other than the stated purpose.  Knowingly writing a check with insufficient funds in the account and cashing it at a bank is fraud.

Check kiting is a form of bank fraud whereby the offender has a check from one bank account and cashes it at a separate bank, knowing that the original account has insufficient funds. Of course, forging a signature on a check and cashing it is bank fraud as well.  Prison sentences for bank fraud can be up to 30 years and carry fines of up to $1 million.
