1.

Collect Transaction Data


The system first collects credit card transaction details such as:
• Transaction amount
• Time
• Location
• Device information
• Merchant details
• Transaction frequency
These details help the system understand user behavior.

2. Preprocess the Data


The collected data is cleaned by:
• Removing missing values
• Removing duplicate records
• Converting data into usable format
This improves model performance.
3. Handle Imbalanced Data Using SMOTE
Fraud transactions are very few compared to normal transactions.
To solve this:
• We use SMOTE to create synthetic fraud samples
• This balances the dataset
• Helps the model learn fraud patterns properly

4. Feature Engineering
The system extracts important fraud indicators such as:
• Unusual transaction amount
• Multiple transactions in short time
• Unknown device usage
• Foreign location transactions
• High transaction velocity
These features help identify suspicious behavior.
[Link] Machine Learning Models
We use machine learning algorithms like:
• Random Forest
• XGBoost
• Logistic Regression
These models learn the difference between genuine and fraudulent transactions.
[Link] Fraud in Real Time
When a new transaction occurs:
1. Transaction data is sent to the system through REST API
2. The model analyzes the risk score
3. The system predicts:
o Approve transaction
o or Decline transaction
This happens within milliseconds.

7. Reduce False Alerts


The model is optimized to:
• Detect maximum fraud cases
• Reduce false positives
• Avoid blocking genuine customers unnecessarily

8. Generate Alerts & Monitoring Dashboard


If suspicious activity is detected:
• Alerts are sent to banks/users
• Fraud details are shown in dashboard
• Security teams can monitor high-risk transactions
