The challenge

  • Rule-based fraud engine missed emerging synthetic-identity patterns.
  • Investigators worked across five disconnected tools with no shared context.
  • Regulator required explainable decisions for every declined transaction.

How we approached it

  • Built a customer-merchant-device graph in Neo4j updated from Kafka in near real time.
  • Combined graph features with XGBoost models and SHAP-based explanations.
  • Shipped a case-management workspace giving investigators one view of the network.

What changed

  • Fraud losses reduced by 32% in the first six months post-launch.
  • False positives cut in half, restoring 1.1M legitimate transactions per year.
  • Every model decision now ships with a regulator-ready explanation.
