As defined by the law, bank fraud specifically refers to one of two very specific actions:

- Using false and / or fraudulent pretenses such as misrepresentations or promises in order to obtain the money belonging to a financial institution. Included in these activities are any action taken to obtain bank credits, bank funds, bank assets and other forms of bank property.
