Abstract

Now the days world become digital, credit card customers have become common; it makes the payment hassle-free. With the ease of use of credit cards; Fraudulent use of credit cards is growing as a significant affair for financial institutions and consumers on an international level. Traditional rule-based detection algorithms are ineffective in determining a transaction's fraudulent nature. First and foremost, it is imperative to comprehend the pattern of fraudulent activities. The current study explores various supervised machine-learning algorithms to analyze patterns and predict the fraudulent nature of transactions in a large dataset used for training the model. The effectiveness of different methods is assessed by comparing their accuracy, precision, F1score, and recall. In the present paper, we discuss the techniques named KNN, SVM(Support Vector Machine), Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, Neural Network, XG Boost, Naïve Bayes, Ada Boost, Decision Forest, and Random Forest.
