AI-Powered Fraud Detection for a Leading Fintech

AI/ML Engineering Data Engineering

Client Overview

A fast-growing fintech processing over 2 million transactions daily needed a smarter way to detect and prevent fraudulent activity without increasing false positives that frustrated legitimate customers.

The Challenge

The existing rule-based fraud system flagged too many legitimate transactions, causing customer churn and operational overhead. Manual review queues were growing faster than the team could handle, and new fraud patterns were slipping through static rules.

Our Solution

DHD Tech embedded a team of two ML engineers and one data engineer who designed and deployed a real-time fraud detection pipeline. Using gradient-boosted models and graph-based anomaly detection, the system learns continuously from new transaction patterns. The solution was integrated with the client's existing microservices architecture and deployed on AWS with sub-100ms inference latency.
