Abstract

Due to the recent development in electronic financial services, transactions of electronic prepayment are rapidly increasing. The increased transactions of electronic prepayment, however, also leads to the increased fraud attempts. It is mainly because electronic prepayment can easily be converted into cash. The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology that can effectively detect fraud transactions in electronic prepayment, by using sequential pattern mining techniques. To validate our approach, experiments on real transaction data were conducted and the applicability of the proposed method was demonstrated. As a result, the accuracy of the proposed method has been 95.6 percent, showing that the proposed method can effectively detect fraud transactions. The proposed method could be used to reduce the damage caused by the fraud attempts of electronic prepayment.

정보통신기술의 발달로 전자금융서비스가 활성화됨에 따라 선불전자지급수단을 이용한 전자금융거래도 증가하고 있다. 선불전자지급수단의 다양한 순기능에도 불구하고, 현금화가 용이하다는 점 때문에 전자금융사기에 악용되는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 선불전자 지급수단의 금융거래내역에 순차패턴 마이닝 기법을 적용하여 이상금융거래를 탐지하는 방안을 제시하였다. 선불전자지급수단의 금융거래내역을 서비스이용 순서로 나열한 다음 순차패턴 마이닝을 통해 이상금융거래 탐지패턴을 추출하였다. 도출된 패턴을 실제 금융거래 데이터에 적용하는 실험을 통해 방법론의 효과성을 검증하였다. 실험결과 테스트 데이터의 탐지성능 정확도가 95.6퍼센트로 나타나 제시된 방법론이 이상금융거래를 효과적으로 탐지할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 방법론은 향후 이상금융거래탐지시스템 분석모델에 적용함으로써 전자금융사고 피해를 줄이는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
