18 U.S.C. § 2113 (1994). And every state has their own code provisions prohibiting robbing a bank. The common law also provides remedies for theft (conversion), so even in the absence of a criminal statute robbing a bank is actionable.

There is no law to say that one 'can not' rob a bank - but there are to say that one 'may not' !
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 103 - ROBBERY AND BURGLARY
HEADING
Sec. 2113. Bank robbery and incidental crimes
STATUTE
(a) Whoever, by force and violence, or by intimidation, takes, or attempts to take, from the person or presence of another, or obtains or attempts to obtain by extortion any property or money or any other thing of value belonging to, or in the care, custody, control, management, or possession of, any bank, credit union, or any savings and loan association; or Whoever enters or attempts to enter any bank, credit union, or any savings and loan association, or any building used in whole or in part as a bank, credit union, or as a savings and loan association, with intent to commit in such bank, credit union, or in such savings and loan association, or building, or part thereof, so used, any felony affecting such bank, credit union, or such savings and loan association and in violation of any statute of the United States, or any larceny - Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
Does that answer your question ?

Its a Federal Crime and it's called Grand Larceny. If a weapon is involved, it is called a robbery. The FBI is responsible for investigating crimes of this nature. If even you only get away with $100, you could be sentenced for up to 20 years.

There are WAY too many to count. Give me your location and I could find it several easily. The federal regulation is:
18 USC $ 2113 (1994).

Check the United States Code (and your state code) at your local law library. Probably under the title "crimes and punishments," or similar.
