The rapid growth of digital payment systems, including online banking, e-commerce platforms, and mobile wallets, has increased both transaction speed and the risk of fraudulent activity. Traditional fraud detection techniques, which rely mainly on fixed rules and predefined thresholds, are often unable to detect evolving and sophisticated fraud patterns in real time. To address this issue, this study presents a machine learning-based system for identifying fraud in online financial transactions. The proposed system uses supervised learning models to analyze transaction attributes and classify them as legitimate or suspicious by examining features such as amount, location, device information, and time-related behavior. Since fraud datasets are usually highly imbalanced, SMOTE is applied to generate synthetic minority samples and improve model learning. Several classifiers, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost, are evaluated using performance measures such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The best-performing model is integrated into a Flask-based web application that provides real-time fraud prediction through an interactive dashboard. An audio alert feature is also included to give immediate notification of suspicious transactions. The experimental results show improved fraud detection performance, higher accuracy, and fewer false alerts compared to conventional rule-based methods. These findings demonstrate that supervised machine learning can play an important role in strengthening the security of digital financial transactions.
