Digital payments of all kinds are increasing all over the world. For instance, in 2018, payments totaling $578 billion were processed by PayPal. It is of utmost importance for financial institutions like banks and credit card companies to find fraudulent transactions in real time to withhold any suspicious transaction as majority of traditional approaches are manual, which is not only inefficient, expensive, and imprecise but also impractical. By analyzing a large amount of financial data, machine-learning-based methods can intelligently detect fraudulent transactions. Most banks and other financial institutions have dedicated teams of dozens of analysts working on automated systems to identify potentially fraudulent transactions through their products. In this research, publicly available data was used on different payment transactions, and solved the issue of fraud detection using different machine learning techniques. Machine learning and Deep Learning techniques was implemented for fraud detection and demonstrate that fraudulent and non-fraudulent transactions can be distinguished through exploratory analysis.
