Introduction:

The banking sector plays a crucial role in the global economy by facilitating financial transactions and providing a safe place for individuals and businesses to store their money. However, with the increasing reliance on technology and digital platforms, the risk of fraud in the banking sector has also increased. Fraudulent activities such as identity theft, credit card fraud, and money laundering pose a significant threat to the integrity of the banking system and can result in substantial financial losses for both customers and financial institutions.

The detection and prevention of fraud in the banking sector have become a top priority for regulators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. Various fraud detection techniques and technologies have been developed to help identify and mitigate fraudulent activities in real-time. This Thesis aims to assess the effectiveness of these fraud detection techniques in the banking sector and provide recommendations for improving fraud detection practices.
