Abstract: We analyzed a dataset of fraudulent credit card transactions to uncover patterns in fraudulent transactions and to demonstrate the importance of focusing on suspicious transactions. We argue that revealed patterns in fraudulent transactions may help financial institutions update their practices and develop innovative mechanisms and systems to improve their performance at preventing and detecting credit card frauds.
