Bank Fraud

Consumers and small businesses rely on banks more than ever. When we trust a financial institution with our money, we trust that the bank will act in our best interests and within the confines of the law. When this trust is violated by a bank agent, financial adviser or insurance agent representing a bank, state and federal laws provide the potential for consumers to hold banks responsible and to be reimbursed for their damages. Bank fraud occurs when a bank makes false representations and/or claims regarding their services, loans, investments, or other products. Bank fraud can occur in many forms, but some common examples include:

• False advertisements
• Attempts to maximize profits over the best interests of clients
• Credit card fraud
• Overcharges or inappropriate late fees
• Selling fraudulent financial services
• Conspiring with appraisers and other parties to fraudulently change loan terms
• Improper lending conduct
• Changing credit reports
• Negligent investments
• Misrepresenting real estate values
• Mismanagement of trusts
• Encouraging false appraisals
• Fraudulent foreclosure
