Abstract
In the banking sector, machine-learning methods are applied in a wide variety of business areas: assessing a client’s risk profile (application and behavior scoring), forming targeted sales (x-sell, up-sell), choosing collection strategies (collection scoring), etc. The bank anti-fraud division is no exception, where with the help of machine-learning methods effective anti-fraud tools are developed. This paper deals with B-tests: methods by which it is possible to identify internal fraud among employees and partners of the bank at an early stage.
