Fraud Detection & Prevention

Uncover hidden fraud patterns through relationship analysis

The Challenge

Traditional fraud detection systems struggle with sophisticated fraud rings that exploit complex relationships between accounts, devices, and transactions. Legacy databases can't efficiently query multi-hop connections in real-time, leading to delayed fraud detection and significant financial losses.

Modern fraud schemes involve intricate networks of seemingly unrelated entities working together, requiring analysis of:

  • Device fingerprinting and shared device networks
  • Payment method associations across multiple accounts
  • Behavioral patterns and anomaly detection
  • Social network analysis for collusion detection
  • Transaction velocity and pattern matching

Key Benefits

  • Real-time Detection: Identify fraud as it happens with graph traversal queries that execute in milliseconds
  • Complex Pattern Matching: Detect sophisticated fraud rings spanning multiple hops in the relationship graph
  • Reduced False Positives: Contextual analysis through connected data reduces incorrect fraud flags by up to 70%
  • Scalable Analysis: Process billions of transactions without performance degradation

How ArcadeDB Solves It

ArcadeDB's native graph engine enables real-time traversal of complex relationship networks, allowing you to identify suspicious accounts sharing devices, detect fraud rings, and analyze transaction patterns across multiple hops in milliseconds. Multi-model capabilities allow you to combine graph relationships with document-based user profiles and time-series transaction data in a single query.

Client Success Story

"We migrated from a traditional RDBMS to ArcadeDB for our fraud detection platform. The results were immediate—we reduced false positives by 68% while catching 35% more actual fraud cases. The ability to query 4-5 hops in the relationship graph in under 50ms was game-changing for our real-time detection engine."
