ABSTRACT
The growth of electronic payments merely made it more imperative to uncover fraud.
Tokenization, too, whereby security is based on replacing card information with temporary values,
provides enough latitude for able fraudsters to exploit transactional trends. These are "black
boxes," i.e., financial black boxes. This paper presents an open deep learning system to detect
online credit card fraud in tokenized transaction systems like uniquely. We employed a
feedforward deep neural network for classifying transactions as real or fraudulent. To tackle the
challenge of explaining knowledge, we employed SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to
explain features for each prediction in an interpretable manner. We trained and tested the model
using a sample data set of 425 tokenized actual transactions. The data set includes tokenized
card numbers, transaction amount, merchant names, and device IDs, etc. The whole system was
implemented in Python with TensorFlow and Keras being used for neural network calculations
and SHAP library being used for building explanations. The outcome shows not only that our
model successfully identifies fraud but also a flawless depiction of its decision-making process
and thus an optimal and reliable solution for banks.
