Digital Twin and IoT-Enabled Online Learning Model for Real- Time Monitoring and Control of Fraudulent Transaction in the Banking industry

Fraudulent transactions have long been a challenge in the banking industry, causing significant financial losses and operational burdens. Traditional fraud detection systems often struggle to adapt and respond in real-time to the evolving tactics of fraud. This study aims to develop a digital twin and IoT-enabled online learning model for real-time monitoring and control of fraudulent transactions in banking. The proposed system integrates digital twin technology and IoT sensors to create a virtual replica of transaction environments, enabling continuous learning and adaptation using an online learning model. Performance metrics such as detection speed, prediction accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score were used to evaluate the system. The system was tested using a dataset of banking transactions, including legitimate and fraudulent activities. Key results include detecting fraudulent transactions 40% faster than traditional methods, reducing detection time from 5 minutes to 3 minutes. The model achieved an accuracy of 92%, an 8.24% improvement over traditional fraud detection systems. The false positive rate was reduced by 28%, meaning fewer legitimate transactions were wrongly flagged as fraudulent. Precision increased by 5.95%, reaching 89%, and recall improved by 8.75%, reaching 87%. This led to a 7.32% increase in the F1 score, reaching 88%. The system offers enhanced real-time fraud detection capabilities, reducing false positives and improving overall security and operational efficiency in the banking industry
