It refers briefly to criminal activity against banks at the begining of the transformation period and with regard to this background arising changes have been displayed. The aim of criminal law is to eliminate threats as far as possible. The most commonly committed banking offences have been listed and described in the publication. Changes in criminal law introduced over the last 20 years in order to ensure the protection of banks’ services have been presented. Special attention has been paid to frauds, most frequently committed when granting for similar products.

The presented observations are illustrated with statistical data describing the dynamics of some of the banking offences. Typically criminal offences, by which assaults on bank’s branches should be understood, are also included in the reflections.
