Interesting presentation today at the DataScience SG meet-up
Conventional fraud prevention methods are rule based, expansive and slow to implement

Key fraud types: account takeover, friendly fraud & fraud due to stolen card information
Consumers want: easy, instant, customized, mobile and dynamic options to suit their personal situation. Consumers do NOT want to be part of the fraud detection process.
