It depends on what information was compromised, and which bank you use. If a defrauder stole or guessed the number on your debit card and bought a bunch of items with it, the bank might reverse those charges and cancel that number. They will then send you a new card, plus a temporary card to use at the ATM and at stores while your new permanent card is shipping. If someone defrauded a check, then they will cancel that check and refund the charges if the check was cashed.

In terms of what they do to fraudsters, that is a matter of which bank it is and their available resources. They will likely try to track down the person committing fraud by looking for patterns and trying to catch them in the act...

When fraud is discovered in a checking. current account, the account is frozen or restricted for further investigation to take place and after this is been done, a decision will be made to either report the person to the authorities, depending on the level of the crime.

If I lost money from my royal bank account via fraud should I get it back?

That would depend on the type of fraud. If money has been lost because of fraudulent use of your bank card by an unrelated 3rd party, you will get it back. If this fraud was committed by a member of your family then you may not. Also you need to be able to prove that you have kept your cards/bank details secure. eg if you have given them to a Nigerian prince then the fraud is your fault.
