Customer Risk Assessment and Fraud Detection
1. Executive Summary
In today’s digital-first financial landscape, fraud detection and risk management are critical to ensuring business continuity, protecting customer trust, and minimizing financial losses. This case study outlines how our organization implemented a Customer Risk Assessment and Fraud Detection Dashboard using Power BI to identify high-risk transactions, detect fraudulent activities, and improve overall operational efficiency.
2. The Problem
Key Challenges:
- High Volume of Transactions: Our client processes high number of transactions daily, making it difficult to manually monitor for risks and fraud.
- Delayed Detection: Traditional methods of fraud detection were reactive rather than proactive, leading to delayed identification of suspicious activities.
- Data Silos: Transactional data, customer profiles, and risk scores were stored in disparate systems, hindering comprehensive analysis.
- Resource Intensive: Manual reviews consumed significant time and resources, leaving limited bandwidth for strategic initiatives.
- Copywriting: Provide persuasive copy on key aspects of the analytics adaptable for Executives, Analysts and Compliance Teams.
3. Solution Approach
In order to address these challenges, we developed an advanced analytics solution leveraging Power BI. Below are the key steps:
Step 1 – Data Integration: We consolidated data from multiple sources, and applied data cleaning, data transformation and data modelling using star schema.
Step 2 – Dashboard Development: We created an interactive dashboard with key metrics and relevant charts and visuals
Step 3 – Implementation
We deployed the dashboard across relevant departments (Compliance, Risk Management, Marketing), and trained teams on interpreting insights and taking actionable steps based on the data.
We crafted persuasive copy on key aspects of the analytics adaptable for Executives, Analysts and Compliance Teams
