Extreme value theory (EVT) is a tool used to consider probabilities associated with extreme
and rare events. This paper is related with extreme events which usually appear with low frequently
but high effects. It has been applied in various fields such as hydrology, as well as in studies of
pollution, meteorology but in recent years, it is mainly used in the financial areas. General
concepts of EVT is presented by a hypothetical case study. It is about fraud events in a Bank during
specific time. This study aims to identify and fit the appropriate extreme value distribution to loss
data by using the method of Hill estimation technique.
