A False Statement to a Bank is a false, misleading, or incomplete statement made to a bank, financial institution, or other lending agency when applying for a loan or other financial services. There are two types of False Statements to a Bank: Misrepresentation and Omission. Misrepresentation is when a person knowingly makes false statements to a bank or other lending agency in order to receive a loan or other financial services. For example, a person applying for a loan may falsely state their income, assets, or employment status in order to obtain a larger loan than they would be eligible for otherwise. Omission is when a person intentionally leaves out or fails to disclose important information about themselves or their financial situation when applying for a loan or other financial services. For example, a person applying for a loan may fail to mention that they have other outstanding loans or debts, or that they have a poor credit history. In either case, a False Statement to a Bank is a serious offense that can lead to criminal charges and financial repercussions.
