Real-time fraud detection for a digital lender

Digital lender, LATAM · Fintech

Fraud detection

A streaming feature store and an explainable scoring model replaced a rules engine that blocked too many good customers.

Challenge

The existing rules engine flagged 9% of applications for manual review, with most turning out to be legitimate. Fraud losses kept growing and each new rule added friction for good customers.

Solution

We built a streaming ingestion layer for application, device and transaction events, a governed feature store on Snowflake, and a gradient-boosted scoring model with SHAP-based explanations for every decision.

  • Decision latency under 80 ms at the 99th percentile
  • Model monitoring with automatic drift alerts
  • Analyst console to review and label edge cases
