CHALLENGE
Evertec uses a fraud detection solution for credit and debit transactions. However, their internal team was facing challenges related to the following aspects:
Accurately score the risk of credit and debit transactions to prevent fraud.
Reduce the False Positive to True Positive ratio.
This challenge involved the security of the company's transactional management.
SOLUTION
We helped Evertec understand and curate their data (500 million records) by applying Data Science techniques. Complex Machine Learning detection models that outperformed the ones already in use were created.
This project shows an interesting case study in which Machine Learning applied to Big Data can have a noticeable impact on a company's turnover and therefore its profitability.
The graph shows the multiple variables applied with the new detection model and their occurrence importance that outperforms the existing solution.
Numbers speak for themselves. The solution led to a 25% increase in fraud detection. Furthermore, the False Positives to True Positives ratio saw a 33% improvement.
"We came up with a problem, a rough idea on how to solve it, and worked out with them a technical solution. Most of our projects are R&D focused and complex on emerging tech. They augmented our team and established a very good relationship. They deliver, they put forward ideas and I like that they are willing to stand their ground for the good of the project instead of just trying to be agreeable."

"In 2018 we partnered with them to help us develop a custom OCR module for our iOS and Android mobile applications. Their team did a great job of scoping out the project and developing the OCR for our app's use case. We continue to work with them today on improvements and leveraging the latest machine learning capabilities to deliver optimal performance to our app users. We highly recommend Digital Sense."
