The proposed paper presents a novel approach to credit card fraud detection using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) with attention mechanisms applied to heterogeneous graph representations of financial data. The method leverages intricate relationships between entities in the financial ecosystem, such as cardholders, merchants, and transactions, providing a richer representation for fraud analysis. To address class imbalance, an autoencoder is integrated, trained on genuine transactions, learning a latent representation and flagging deviations during reconstruction as potential fraud. This research investigates two key questions: (1) effectiveness of GNN with attention mechanism in detecting credit card fraud; and (2) comparison to traditional methods. The proposed model outperforms benchmark algorithms, achieving superior AUC-PR and F1-score. This research advances fraud detection systems and financial transaction security by leveraging GNNs and addressing class imbalance.

The paper proposes a new way to detect credit card fraud using special kinds of artificial intelligence called Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). These networks can understand relationships between different things, like people, businesses, and transactions. This helps them catch more fraudulent activities that might otherwise go unnoticed. To make the system better at detecting fraud, the researchers also added a special tool that can recognize when something is unusual and might be fake. They tested their method against other approaches and found it worked much better. This could lead to safer and more secure financial transactions in the future.
