SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CROSS-BORDER ATM FRAUD DETECTION

Abstract:

A macro fraud detection system for detecting macro level fraud of transaction card automated teller machine (ATM) withdrawals includes a memory device for storing data and a processor. The processor is communicatively coupled to the memory device and is programmed to receive first transaction data corresponding to historical financial transactions between a plurality of transaction cards and at least one ATM. The processor is also programmed to aggregate the first transaction data into one or more referential tables, and determine one or more threshold values based on the aggregated first transaction data. In addition, the processor is programmed to receive second transaction data corresponding to current financial transactions between the plurality of transaction cards and the at least one ATM. Moreover, the processor is programmed to compare the second transaction data to the one or more threshold values.
