Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: Credit card fraud is a serious and ever-growing problem with billions of dollars lost every year due to fraudulent transactions. Fraud has always been present and will always be. It is also ever changing, as the technology and usage patterns change over time, which makes CCFD (credit card fraud detection) a particularly hard problem. Traditionally, fraud detection relied solely on domain experts’ detection rules, but in the past decade or two, such solutions are being augmented with data mining models for fraud detection. The progress in this area is impeded both by the sensitive nature of the data and great commercial potential – the industrial solutions are understandably kept secret and authentic datasets are rare and few. In this paper we study the CCFD problem with its typical problems and state of the art solution. We survey the recent literature and bring a structured overview of relevant fraud detection features and data mining approaches to this problem.
