Background of the Study
Financial institutions, including banks, are increasingly relying on digital platforms to offer services to their clients, which has brought about a rise in financial fraud and cybercrime. Traditional fraud detection systems, typically based on rule-based algorithms, struggle to detect complex fraudulent activities, especially as fraudsters become more sophisticated. Machine learning (ML) models have gained popularity in recent years for their ability to identify fraudulent patterns by analyzing large datasets and adapting to new patterns of behavior.
Quantum machine learning (QML) offers the potential to significantly enhance financial fraud detection. By using quantum computing to process data faster and more efficiently, QML can improve the accuracy of fraud detection systems, enabling them to identify even the most subtle signs of fraud in real-time. This study aims to evaluate the use of quantum machine learning models for financial fraud detection at Zenith Bank, Plateau State, by analyzing their effectiveness compared to traditional fraud detection methods.
Statement of the Problem
Financial fraud remains one of the most pressing challenges for banks globally, and Zenith Bank, like many others, is under constant threat from fraudsters. Traditional fraud detection systems often struggle with large volumes of transaction data and complex fraud patterns, leading to false positives and delays in fraud detection. This research will evaluate the potential of quantum machine learning models to improve the accuracy and efficiency of fraud detection systems at Zenith Bank.
Objectives of the Study
-
To assess the effectiveness of quantum machine learning models in detecting financial fraud at Zenith Bank.
-
To compare the performance of quantum machine learning models with traditional fraud detection techniques in terms of accuracy and processing speed.
-
To explore the challenges and opportunities of integrating quantum machine learning into Zenith Bank’s existing fraud detection system.
Research Questions
-
How effective are quantum machine learning models in detecting financial fraud at Zenith Bank?
-
How do quantum machine learning models compare with traditional fraud detection techniques in terms of accuracy and speed?
-
What are the challenges in implementing quantum machine learning models in financial fraud detection at Zenith Bank?
Significance of the Study
This study will provide valuable insights into the application of quantum machine learning for financial fraud detection. It will help Zenith Bank and other financial institutions understand how they can leverage quantum computing to enhance their fraud detection capabilities, reduce financial losses, and improve security for their clients.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on evaluating quantum machine learning models for financial fraud detection at Zenith Bank, Plateau State. It will not extend to other financial institutions or fraud detection systems outside of this bank.
