Abstract

Mobile money transfer systems (MMTS) in countries with limited banking are increasingly becoming the mainstream banking system. The analysis of transactions performed on these systems helps to detect fraudulent and criminal activities. This paper introduces a novel visual analytics framework for visual analysis and exploration of mobile money transactions. Our system enables the empirical analysis of mobile money transactions data using multiple views to reveal the temporal, geospatial, and categorical aspects of the transactions. Several challenges were identified related to the given MMT datasets through the process of implementing of fraud detection framework. In addition, as a step towards recognizing the difficult task of developing versatile and flexible fraud detection models, this work proposes concepts to address the identified challenges.
