========================================

Money laundering is a multi-billion dollar issue. Detection of laundering is very difficult. Most automated algorithms have a high false positive rate: legitimate transactions incorrectly flagged as laundering. The converse is also a major problem -- false negatives, i.e. undetected laundering transactions. Naturally, criminals work hard to cover their tracks.

Access to real financial transaction data is highly restricted -- for both proprietary and privacy reasons. Even when access is possible, it is problematic to provide a correct tag (laundering or legitimate) to each transaction -- as noted above. This synthetic transaction data from IBM avoids these problems.

The data provided here is based on a virtual world inhabited by individuals, companies, and banks. Individuals interact with other individuals and companies. Likewise, companies interact with other companies and with individuals. These interactions can take many forms, e.g. purchase of consumer goods and services, purchase orders for industrial supplies, payment of salaries, repayment of loans, and more. These financial transactions are generally conducted via banks, i.e. the payer and receiver both have accounts, with accounts taking multiple forms from checking to credit cards to bitcoin.

Some (small) fraction of the individuals and companies in the generator model engage in criminal behavior -- such as smuggling, illegal gambling, extortion, and more. Criminals obtain funds from these illicit activities, and then try to hide the source of these illicit funds via a series of financial transactions. Such financial transactions to hide illicit funds constitute laundering. Thus, the data available here is labelled and can be used for training and testing AML (Anti Money Laundering) models and for other purposes.

The data generator that created the data here not only models illicit activity, but also tracks funds derived from illicit activity through arbitrarily many transactions -- thus creating the ability to label laundering transactions many steps removed from their illicit source. With this foundation, it is straightforward for the generator to label individual transactions as laundering or legitimate.

Note that this IBM generator models the entire money laundering cycle: - Placement: Sources like smuggling of illicit funds. - Layering: Mixing the illicit funds into the financial system. - Integration: Spending the illicit funds.

As another capability possible only with synthetic data, note that a real bank or other institution typically has access to only a portion of the transactions involved in laundering: the transactions involving that bank. Transactions happening at other banks or between other banks are not seen. Thus, models built on real transactions from one institution can have only a limited view of the world.

By contrast these synthetic transactions contain an entire financial ecosystem. Thus it may be possible to create laundering detection models that undertand the broad sweep of transactions across institutions, but apply those models to make inferences only about transactions at a particular bank.

As another point of reference, IBM previously released data from a very early version of this data generator: https://ibm.box.com/v/AML-Anti-Money-Laundering-Data

The generator has been made significantly more robust since that previous data was released, and these transactions reflect improved realism, bug fixes, and other improvements compared to the previous release.

Credit card transaction data labeled for fraud and built using a related generator is also available on Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/ealtman2019/credit-card-transactions

CONTENT

We release 6 datasets here divided into two groups of three: - Group HI has a relatively higher illicit ratio (more laundering). - Group LI has a relatively lower illicit ratio (less laundering).

Both HI and LI internally have three sets of data: small, medium, and large. The goal is to support a broad degree of modeling and computational resources. All of these datasets are independent, e.g. the small datasets are not ...

Context

There is a lack of public available datasets on financial services and specially in the emerging mobile money transactions domain. Financial datasets are important to many researchers and in particular to us performing research in the domain of fraud detection. Part of the problem is the intrinsically private nature of financial transactions, that leads to no publicly available datasets.

We present a synthetic dataset generated using the simulator called PaySim as an approach to such a problem. PaySim uses aggregated data from the private dataset to generate a synthetic dataset that resembles the normal operation of transactions and injects malicious behaviour to later evaluate the performance of fraud detection methods.

Content

PaySim simulates mobile money transactions based on a sample of real transactions extracted from one month of financial logs from a mobile money service implemented in an African country. The original logs were provided by a multinational company, who is the provider of the mobile financial service which is currently running in more than 14 countries all around the world.

This synthetic dataset is scaled down 1/4 of the original dataset and it is created just for Kaggle.

NOTE: Transactions which are detected as fraud are cancelled, so for fraud detection these columns (oldbalanceOrg, newbalanceOrig, oldbalanceDest, newbalanceDest ) must not be used.

Headers

This is a sample of 1 row with headers explanation:

1,PAYMENT,1060.31,C429214117,1089.0,28.69,M1591654462,0.0,0.0,0,0

step - maps a unit of time in the real world. In this case 1 step is 1 hour of time. Total steps 744 (30 days simulation).

type - CASH-IN, CASH-OUT, DEBIT, PAYMENT and TRANSFER.

amount - amount of the transaction in local currency.

nameOrig - customer who started the transaction

oldbalanceOrg - initial balance before the transaction

newbalanceOrig - new balance after the transaction.

nameDest - customer who is the recipient of the transaction

oldbalanceDest - initial balance recipient before the transaction. Note that there is not information for customers that start with M (Merchants).

newbalanceDest - new balance recipient after the transaction. Note that there is not information for customers that start with M (Merchants).

isFraud - This is the transactions made by the fraudulent agents inside the simulation. In this specific dataset the fraudulent behavior of the agents aims to profit by taking control or customers accounts and try to empty the funds by transferring to another account and then cashing out of the system.

isFlaggedFraud - The business model aims to control massive transfers from one account to another and flags illegal attempts. An illegal attempt in this dataset is an attempt to transfer more than 200.000 in a single transaction.

Past Research

There are 5 similar files that contain the run of 5 different scenarios. These files are better explained at my PhD thesis chapter 7 (PhD Thesis Available here http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:bth-12932.

We ran PaySim several times using random seeds for 744 steps, representing each hour of one month of real time, which matches the original logs. Each run took around 45 minutes on an i7 intel processor with 16GB of RAM. The final result of a run contains approximately 24 million of financial records divided into the 5 types of categories: CASH-IN, CASH-OUT, DEBIT, PAYMENT and TRANSFER.

Therapeutic efficacy of first-generation hypomethylating agents (HMAs) is limited in elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Therefore, combination strategies with targeted therapies are urgently needed. Here, we discover that priming with SGI-110 (guadecitabine), a next-generation HMA, sensitizes AML cells to ASTX660, a novel antagonist of cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 1 and 2 (cIAP1/2) and X-linked IAP (XIAP). Importantly, SGI-110 and ASTX660 synergistically induced cell death in a panel of AML cell lines as well as in primary AML samples while largely sparing normal CD34+ human progenitor cells, underlining the translational relevance of this combination. Unbiased transcriptome analysis revealed that SGI-110 alone or in combination with ASTX660 upregulated the expression of key regulators of both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis signaling pathways such as TNFRSF10B (DR5), FAS and BAX. Individual knockdown of the death receptors TNFR1, DR5 and FAS significantly reduced SGI-110/ASTX660-mediated cell death, whereas blocking antibodies for TRAIL or FASLG failed to provide protection. Also, TNF-blocking antibody Enbrel had little protective effect on SGI110/ASTX660-induced cell death. Further, SGI-110 and ASTX660 acted in concert to promote cleavage of caspase-8 and BID, thereby providing a link between extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways. Consistently, sequential treatment with SGI-110 and ASTX660 triggered loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and BAX activation, which contributes to cell death as BAX silencing significantly protected from SGI-110/ASTX660-mediated apoptosis. Together, these events culminated in activation of caspases-3/-7, nuclear fragmentation and cell death. In conclusion, SGI-110 and ASTX660 cooperatively induced apoptosis in AML cells by engaging extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways, highlighting the therapeutic potential of this combination for AML. After pre-treatment with 2 µM SGI-110 for 24 h, ML-2 cells were treated with 5 µM ASTX660 for another 9 h. Samples (solvent-treated controls, SGI-110 single treatment, ASTX660 single treatment, SGI-110/ASTX660 combination treatment) were collected from three independent experiments.

Context

Limited credit card transaction data is available for training fraud detection models and other uses, such as analyzing similar purchase patterns. Credit card data that is available often has significant obfuscation, relatively few transactions, and short time duration. For example, this Kaggle dataset has 284,000 transactions over two days, of which less than 500 are fraudulent. In addition, all but two columns have had a principal components transformation, which obfuscates true values and makes the column values uncorrelated.

Content

The data here has almost no obfuscation and is provided in a CSV file whose schema is described in the first row. This data has more than 20 million transactions generated from a multi-agent virtual world simulation performed by IBM. The data covers 2000 (synthetic) consumers resident in the United States, but who travel the world. The data also covers decades of purchases, and includes multiple cards from many of the consumers.

Further details about the generation are here. Analyses of the data suggest that it is a reasonable match for real data in many dimensions, e.g. fraud rates, purchase amounts, Merchant Category Codes (MCCs), and other metrics. In addition, all columns except merchant name have their "natural" value. Such natural values can be helpful in feature engineering of models.

F1 provides a useful score for models predicting whether a particular transaction is fraudulent. In addition, comparison can be made to the results other fraud detection models, e.g.

• TabFormer (BERT-based Model)
• LSTM and GRU Models for AI on IBM Z Mainframe

A broader set of synthetic financial transactions labeled for money laundering is also available on Kaggle:

• AML: Anti Money Laundering Data

Feedback

We look forward to models and other analysis of this data. We also look forward to discussion, comments, and questions.
