Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of financial transactions, the detection of fraudulent activities remains a critical challenge for financial institutions worldwide. This study introduces a novel bidirectional encoder representation from transformers (BERT)–long short-term memory (LSTM) hybrid model that integrates both textual and numerical data to enhance credit card fraud detection. Leveraging BERT for deep contextual embeddings and LSTM for sequence analysis, the model provides a comprehensive approach that surpasses traditional fraud detection systems primarily based on numerical analysis. On the validation set, the model achieved a recall of 100% and an accuracy of 99.11%, highlighting strong effectiveness in identifying fraudulent transactions under class imbalance. Through rigorous evaluation, the model demonstrated exceptional accuracy and reliability, promising improvements in fraud detection and mitigation. This paper details the development and validation of the hybrid model, emphasizing its use of mixed data types to capture complex patterns in transaction data. The results indicate a new frontier in fraud detection by combining natural language processing (NLP) and sequential data analysis to create a robust solution for real-world applications, supporting the security and integrity of financial systems globally.
