Banking — Financial Transaction Anomaly Detection Pipeline

Overview

The purpose of this DAG is to enhance fraud detection capabilities within the banking sector by identifying anomalies in financial transactions. Triggered by incoming transaction data, it ingests information from various transaction systems, including payment gateways and banking APIs. The ingestion pipeline ensures seamless data flow, applying stringent quality controls to validate the accuracy of the data collected. Once the data is ingested, it undergoes a series of processing steps where adv

The purpose of this DAG is to enhance fraud detection capabilities within the banking sector by identifying anomalies in financial transactions. Triggered by incoming transaction data, it ingests information from various transaction systems, including payment gateways and banking APIs. The ingestion pipeline ensures seamless data flow, applying stringent quality controls to validate the accuracy of the data collected. Once the data is ingested, it undergoes a series of processing steps where advanced anomaly detection algorithms analyze transaction patterns and behaviors. The system flags any detected anomalies for further investigation by fraud analysts, facilitating timely intervention to mitigate potential losses. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as detection rate, false positive rate, and response time are monitored to assess the effectiveness of the anomaly detection process. The outputs include detailed reports on detected anomalies, summaries of flagged transactions, and insights for refining detection algorithms. By implementing this DAG, banks can significantly reduce the risk of fraud, enhance customer trust, and improve overall operational efficiency.
