In the modern landscape of banking, fraudulent activities pose a significant threat to financial institutions and their customers.

As technology evolves, so do the techniques employed by fraudsters, making traditional fraud detection methods less effective.

To combat this, banks and financial organizations are increasingly turning to advanced graph fraud models.

These models leverage the power of graph theory and machine learning to detect complex patterns and anomalies within vast amounts of transactional data.

Graph fraud models utilize a graph-based representation of banking data, where nodes represent entities such as accounts, customers, merchants, and transactions, and edges represent relationships or interactions between these entities.

By modeling transactions as nodes and establishing connections between them based on various features such as transaction amount, time, location, and involved…
