Project background.

Credit card fraud is a prevalent and costly problem affecting individuals, businesses, and financial institutions worldwide. According to industry reports, credit card fraud resulted in billions of dollars in losses annually. The increasing sophistication of fraudulent techniques, coupled with the rising volume of online transactions, highlights the urgent need for effective credit card fraud detection solutions. By developing accurate and efficient machine learning models, we can detect fraudulent transactions in real-time, minimize financial losses, protect customers’ assets, and maintain trust in the credit card ecosystem.
