The Challenge

Legacy rule-based system had 15% false positive rate causing customer friction and missed emerging fraud patterns. Processing latency of 300ms was too slow for real-time blocking. Fraud losses were increasing 20% year-over-year.

2

Our Solution

We built an ensemble ML model using XGBoost and neural networks with real-time feature engineering. Implemented streaming architecture with Kafka for sub-100ms decisions. Added adaptive learning pipeline to detect new fraud patterns. Created explainable AI layer for compliance and dispute resolution.
