Credit Card Fraud Detection using Machine Learning Techniques

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a huge decline in money usage, with everything turning online these days. It has contributed to an increase in contactless payments that was unimaginable before. A credit card is the most extensively used method of payment, and it is becoming increasingly digital as the number of daily electronic transactions increases, making it more vulnerable to fraud. Credit card firms have suffered losses because of widespread card fraud. The most common worry is the recognition of credit card fraud. As a result, organizations are looking toward advanced device understanding technologies since they can handle a lot of data and spot irregularities that humans would miss. The development of effective To stop these losses, fraud detection algorithms are essential. An increasing number of these algorithms rely on cutting-edge computer methods that can assist fraud investigators. However, the appearance of the full-proof Fraud Detection System demands the use of high performing algorithms that are both exact and sturdy enough to handle massive amounts of data. The algorithm is run using open-source software using R statistical programming. This project tries to provide options by studying several fraud detection systems and highlighting their strengths and limitations. © 2022 IEEE.
