Types of banking fraud

In simple terms, banking fraud is the fraudulent obtaining of funds from a bank or financial institution. Common actions, which are regarded as illegal, include:

• Opening a bank account in a false name
• Using a stolen or ‘skimmed’ bank card
• Forcing someone to change a direct debit, standing order or bank transfer payment
• Accessing somebody else’s bank account by phishing for sensitive information
• Transferring money from an account to your own via electronic transfer, without permission

There are many examples of banking fraud – all require immediate legal advice, so you are clear on your options.
