The challenge

A fast-growing payment platform was losing $2M+ annually to fraudulent transactions. Their rule-based system caught less than 40% of fraud and generated excessive false positives that blocked legitimate customers.

Our solution

We built a real-time ML pipeline that ingests transaction data, extracts 200+ features, and scores every transaction in under 50ms. The system combines gradient-boosted models with a graph neural network that detects coordinated fraud rings. We deployed it with full MLOps: automated retraining, A/B testing, model monitoring, and drift detection.
