Project Snapshot

A leading bank uses machine learning to detect more than 85 percent of all invoice fraud

To help a leading bank detect rare fraudulent transactions (one in 50 million instances), a team of analytics experts and data engineers built one of the largest payment data sets in the bank’s country. The team developed a machine-learning model that uses more than 200 features and ensures computational performance for live scoring, database best practices, and legal compliance. Within the first few weeks of operation, the model flagged some ~$130,000 USD in fraudulent transactions.
