In the U.S., bank fraud is committed when someone knowingly executes or attempts to execute a scheme or artifice to defraud a financial institution or to obtain any of the moneys, funds, credits, assets, securities or other property owned by or under the custody or control of a financial institution via false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises. Anyone found guilty of bank fraud shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years or both.

Embezzlement happens when a person is entrusted with his or her employer’s money and the person converts the money for his or her own use. An employee stealing company funds is an embezzler.
