Development of a Business Intelligence System for Fraud Detection and Operational Optimization in Financial Services

The client faces significant financial losses due to fraudulent activities exploiting transaction processing times and security vulnerabilities. Additionally, there is a need to identify new revenue streams, improve operational efficiency, and enhance customer experience through better data analysis and process automation.

A mid-sized digital banking institution employing advanced app features, with a focus on customer engagement, wealth management, and financial security, seeking to enhance fraud prevention and operational efficiency.

• Reduce fraud-related financial losses by at least 40% per quarter through automated detection and prevention mechanisms.
• Enhance user adoption and revenue streams by 5% within the first quarter post-implementation.
• Automate manual business processes to improve operational efficiency and optimize human resource deployment.

• Custom rule-based fraud detection module to identify suspicious activities and mitigate risks.
• Integration with major BI tools (e.g., data warehouse and visualization platforms) for data analysis and reporting.
• Duplication of production databases for analytical activities to prevent impact on live operations.
• Automated data exchange workflows using SQL and scripting languages (e.g., Python) for real-time data analysis.
• Dashboards with real-time data visualization and trend analysis charts.
• Historical data trend analysis to detect anomalies and behavioral patterns.
• System of rules with threshold-based metrics to signal potential fraud attacks.
• Implementation of a rule-based fraud protection module to block suspicious transactions.
• Segmentation and automation of business processes to reduce manual intervention and improve operational efficiency.

• Connection with transaction processing systems for real-time data analysis.
• Integration with data warehouses for analytical processing.
• Linkage to visualization tools for dashboard creation and reporting.

• System should process real-time data with minimal latency.
• Data analysis environment must be isolated from production workload to ensure system performance.
• Security protocols to safeguard sensitive financial and user data.
• Scalability to handle increasing transaction volumes and data growth.

The implementation is expected to decrease fraud-related financial losses by approximately 40% per quarter, boost user engagement and revenue streams by 5% within the first quarter, and improve overall operational efficiency through process automation, resulting in optimized resource use and enhanced customer satisfaction.
