Banking — Real-Time Financial Transaction Anomaly Detection

Overview

The purpose of this DAG is to analyze financial transactions in real-time to detect potential anomalies that could indicate fraudulent activities. By leveraging machine learning models, the system identifies suspicious behaviors based on historical transaction patterns and predefined thresholds. The data sources for this pipeline include transaction logs from core banking systems, customer profiles from CRM systems, and external fraud detection feeds. The ingestion pipeline begins with the colle

The purpose of this DAG is to analyze financial transactions in real-time to detect potential anomalies that could indicate fraudulent activities. By leveraging machine learning models, the system identifies suspicious behaviors based on historical transaction patterns and predefined thresholds. The data sources for this pipeline include transaction logs from core banking systems, customer profiles from CRM systems, and external fraud detection feeds. The ingestion pipeline begins with the collection of transaction data, followed by data cleansing to ensure accuracy and consistency. Processing steps involve feature extraction, where relevant attributes are derived from the transaction data, and anomaly detection using trained machine learning models. Quality controls are implemented to validate the accuracy of the detected anomalies, ensuring that false positives are minimized. Upon detection of an anomaly, alerts are generated and sent to compliance teams for further investigation. The outputs of this DAG include detailed reports of detected anomalies, alert notifications, and compliance action logs. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as detection accuracy, alert response time, and the number of false positives is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of the anomaly detection system. The business value lies in enhancing security measures, reducing financial losses due to fraud, and improving customer trust through proactive risk management.
