AI Fraud Detection
Fewer false positives, and a reason attached to every flag.
Rule-based fraud systems fail in a specific and predictable way: fraud patterns change faster than rules are written, so recall degrades quietly while false positives accumulate. Machine learning fixes the recall problem and introduces an explainability problem, which in regulated contexts is the harder of the two.
Book a free consultationWhy this is usually broken
- Static rules degrade as patterns shift, and nobody notices until losses move
- False positives consume investigator capacity and damage good customer relationships
- A flag without a reason cannot be actioned or defended
- Regulated decisions require an explanation the model has to be able to produce
How we build it
Behavioural and graph signals
Patterns across entities and relationships that transaction-level rules cannot express.
Explanation with every flag
Each flag carries the specific factors that drove it, which is both an investigator productivity feature and a regulatory requirement.
Tuned to investigator capacity
Thresholds set against how many cases your team can genuinely work, because alerts beyond that capacity are not reviewed.
Model outside the decision
The system surfaces and ranks. A human decides. In regulated lines this separation is what makes the deployment defensible.
What changes
Figures are drawn from Senteras engagements and are illustrative of typical results. Outcomes vary by data quality, infrastructure and scope.
Common questions
How do you handle bias and fair lending exposure?
Disparate impact testing across protected classes is part of the build, including proxy variables. Excluding protected attributes from the feature set is necessary and nowhere near sufficient, since geography and behaviour frequently proxy for them.
