First Party Fraud
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
"First Party Fraud" means a fraud that is committed by an individual or group of individuals on their own account with no intention of any repayment of the loss caused.[1]
Lending Context
A first party fraud generally occurs when the party misrepresents its financial abilities on the application forms and by using another person's identifying information. Any fraud which is initiated at a later stage of the lifecycle of a credit product, such as the misstatement of financial reports, even when it is used to prolong or to extend an existing credit product does not fall within this definition
