This module wasn't just about data; it was about the infrastructure of FinTech. I learned how money actually moves (The Issuer vs. Acquirer vs. Network).
My Assignment: I built a Power BI dashboard to automatically catch 3 types of fraud in a dataset:
- Bots: I wrote code to spot users swiping their cards 3 times in 1 minute (Velocity Fraud).
- Whales: I flagged a user spending 14,000 AED when they usually spend 50.
- Risky Business: I blocked transactions at gambling sites like "Bet365."
Big Lesson: Fraud detection is basically just defining what "Normal" looks like, and writing a formula to scream when that pattern breaks.
