fraud perjury
Is it illegal to supply a false address to a bank?
<p>Can somebody get in trouble for supplying a false address to a bank when opening an account? </p>

<p>While the label on <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1014" rel="nofollow">18 USC 1014</a> might suggest that you only get in trouble for lying on a loan application, the language of the statute includes "Whoever knowingly makes any false statement …for the purpose of influencing in any way the action of…any institution the accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation…shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both". Which I think counts as trouble, if you're in the US. There are, additionally, options for charges of fraud, and probably lying to the government on the premise that account information is transmitted to the feds (likely mediated through the fact that the federal government insures tour accounts)</p>
