Abstract:
This application relates to apparatus and methods for identifying fraudulent transactions. The embodiments may employ machine learning processes to detect fraudulent activity. In some examples, a computing device determines customer data and device data for a customer and device involved in a transaction. The customer data may include previous transactions by the customer, and the device data may include previous transactions involving the device. The computing device generates features based on the customer data and the device data, and applies one or more machine learning models to the generated features to generate a trust score. The trust score is indicative of how likely a transaction is to be fraudulent. In some examples, the transaction is not allowed if the trust score is beyond a threshold. In some examples, the computing device trains the machine learning models based on customer data and device data for a plurality of customers and devices.
