Abstract

This study proposes a method for detecting bank fraud based on graph neural networks. Financial transactions are represented in the form of a graph and analyzed with a graph neural network with the goal of detecting transactions typical of fraud schemes. The results of experimental tests indicate the high potential of the proposed approach.
