Real-Time AI Fraud Detection

Detect anomalous transactions in milliseconds using ensemble ML.

Predictive MLClassical MLScaledHigh riskHigh complexityVery High valueTime-to-value: 6–12 months~220% est. ROI

Overview

Combine gradient-boosted models with graph neural networks to score every transaction sub-50ms, escalating borderline cases to human reviewers and feeding outcomes back into the model.

Business Problem

Card-not-present fraud losses are increasing 18% YoY and rules-based systems generate >60% false positives, eroding customer trust.

AI Solution

Ensemble of gradient boosting + graph neural network scoring every transaction in <50ms, with human-in-the-loop review for borderline cases.

Business Value

Reduces fraud loss by 30–55% and false positives by 40% — translating to multi-million USD annual savings for a mid-size issuer.
