Abstract

With the rapid growth of digital payment systems, financial fraud has become a major concern. This paper presents a comparative study of machine learning algorithms for detecting fraudulent transactions in real time. Techniques such as Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and Gradient Boosting are evaluated using large-scale transaction datasets. The proposed model achieves high precision and recall, minimizing false positives. The study emphasizes the importance of adaptive learning systems in combating evolving fraud patterns and ensuring secure financial ecosystems.
