Banking Fraud

What is banking fraud?

Banking fraud is a broad term that covers a wide range of fraudulent activities. These include, but are not limited to:

• Bank account fraud
• False accounting fraud
• Bank card fraud
• Credit Card fraud
• Cheque fraud
• Cash point fraud
• Using PIN entry devices
• Mandate fraud

The rise of internet banking has led to an increase in credit card fraud and ‘phishing’, which is the act of stealing financial information by fraudulent means. This could be through an email or instant message, claiming to be from your bank, building society or other trusted institution.
