Abstract: Machine Learning based Neural Networks are extensively popular in creating machine learning models such as Text Classification, Face Recognition, Speech Recognition, Recommending new services etc. In the present hyper-competitive data-driven world these models are in huge demand since they provide high accuracy. In present days, the availability of internet and the wide variety of services like e-commerce, online shopping gained much popularity. On the other side of the coin, customers are facing adverse benefits due to fraudulent activities. Therefore, analyzing, detecting and preventing such unusual fraudulent activities in- real time is very essential and play crucial part. The main objective of this paper is to create a predictive model that capture the fraudulent transactions with high accuracy using Isolation forest & Local Outlier factor for detecting outliers that explicitly identifies anomalies and Extreme Gradient Boosting, an ensemble approach for constructing and evaluating the predictive model. A comparative study was done with existing models Logistic Regression, SVM, Random Forest with Extreme Gradient (XG) Boosting algorithm. The proposed model XG Boosting shows better performance and secured high accuracy 0.98.
