Convergent boundaries occur where two tectonic plates move towards each other.

A convergent boundary is a reverse fault. It's a reverse fault because it it pushing together, while a divergent boundary is a normal fault because 2 plates are pushing away from each other.
This is known as a transform boundary or a strike-slip fault; the U.S. famous one being the San Andreas Fault.
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary

The type of fault that generally occurs at a divergent boundary is a strike-slip fault. It is also referred to as a transform fault.
