Project's Overview
Credit Card Fraud Detection System is a Python Flask based final year project developed for detecting suspicious and fraudulent credit card transactions using rule-based risk scoring. This major project allows users to register, log in, reset passwords through security question and system-generated OTP, manage profiles, add transactions manually, upload transactions through CSV, validate transaction rows, check fraud for single or bulk transactions, view risk score, view reason tags, search/filter/sort records, download PDF or CSV reports, manage optional card profiles, view notifications, export user data, and clear personal transaction data. The system classifies each transaction as Safe, Suspicious, or Fraud based on risk factors such as unusual amount, odd transaction time, high-risk merchant, daily limit exceeded, and rapid transaction frequency. This Credit Card Fraud Detection source code is suitable for students who need a final year project, major project, minor project, source code, and project report based on Flask, SQLite, transaction analysis, and fraud detection logic.

Fraud Detection Logic in this Final Year Project
This project uses a rule-based fraud scoring system. It does not require real banking datasets or external banking APIs.
Risk Factors
| Risk Factor | Score |
|---|---|
| Unusual amount | +30 |
| Late-night transaction | +20 |
| High-risk merchant | +25 |
| Daily limit exceeded | +40 |
| Rapid frequency | +15 |
Final Classification Rules
| Risk Score | Status |
|---|---|
| 0 – 30 | Safe |
| 31 – 60 | Suspicious |
| 61+ | Fraud |
Example
Amount high → +30
Late night → +20
Crypto merchant → +25
-------------------------
Total Risk Score → 75
Final Status → Fraud
Fraud Result Details Features in this Final Year Project
For every checked transaction, the user can view:
- Full transaction information
- Transaction amount
- Date and time
- Merchant name
- Transaction type
- Location
- Card profile
- Final fraud status
- Risk score
- Reason tags
- Check date and time
- Fraud explanation
- Human-readable risk reason
Example reason labels:
- Unusual transaction amount
- Transaction at odd hours
- High-risk merchant detected
- Daily limit exceeded
- Rapid transaction frequency detected
- Unusual location pattern
Internal Risk Analysis Modules in this Final Year Project
1. Amount Analysis
- Compares transaction amount with usual spending range
- Checks daily card limit if card profile is available
- Flags unusually high transactions
- Adds higher risk when amount crosses defined limit
2. Time-Based Pattern Check
- Detects late-night transactions
- Flags transactions between 12 AM and 5 AM
- Adds risk when transaction time looks unusual
3. Merchant Risk Pattern
- Detects high-risk merchant keywords
- Flags crypto platforms
- Flags gift card or voucher merchants
- Flags unknown or rarely used merchants
4. Location Deviation
- Checks unusual transaction location if available
- Adds risk for unknown or sudden location change
- Useful for fraud simulation logic
5. Frequency and Velocity Check
- Detects multiple transactions in short time
- Flags repeated transactions within minutes
- Adds risk for rapid retries or transaction bursts
Card Profile Features in this Final Year Project
- Add card nickname
- Add daily limit
- Add usual spending range
- Assign card profile to transaction
- Use card profile for risk calculation
- Detect daily limit exceeded
- Detect spending beyond normal range
- Improve transaction risk explanation

Machine Learning Note in this Final Year Project
This version does not require a real machine learning model.
The project intentionally uses a rule-based fraud detection logic because:
- Real fraud ML requires large private banking datasets
- Banking datasets are highly sensitive
- Rule-based fraud screening is still used in real-world systems
- It is easier to explain in viva
- It works fully offline
- It is safe for academic projects
ML-ready explanation:
The risk score can later be used as a feature set for Logistic Regression, Random Forest, or other machine learning models.
