A production-style AML & Fraud Detection Toolkit — rule engine, ML layer, SAR export — calibrated against BFIU guidelines and real Bangladesh MFS transaction patterns. The architecture works for any digital payments context globally.

Same dataset, every time
Kaggle's credit card fraud dataset has been submitted by millions. Hiring managers stop reading at "accuracy: 99.2%".
No rule engine
Real compliance teams run weighted rule sets. A classifier alone isn't how transaction monitoring actually works.
No regulatory context
"I tuned a model" means nothing without knowing what BFIU Circular 02/2019 says about structuring thresholds.
Global false positives
Generic tools misfire constantly on MFS data — round-amount rules that fire on every BDT 500 bazar purchase.
How the toolkit works
What's inside the full toolkit
✓Synthetic MFS data generator — 10,000+ realistic txns with injected typologies
✓6-rule BFIU-calibrated rule engine with weighted scoring
✓Composite risk scoring 0–100 with tiered alert levels
✓Threshold backtesting — simulate rule changes before deployment
✓LightGBM ML layer trained on rule-enriched features
✓SAR candidate export in compliance-ready format
✓EDD regulatory profile builder per flagged account
✓Compliance dashboard — 6 charts, production Jupyter notebooks
✓RULE_CALIBRATION.md — every rule cited to BFIU circulars
✓Full test suite + CI/CD pipeline
✓All future updates — network graph, SAR PDF, REST API (roadmap)
✓Private GitHub repo access via Gumroad post-purchase

Who this is for
ML/Data job seekers
Targeting fintech, fraud, or AML roles? This project gets you a portfolio piece interviewers actually ask about — not just a confusion matrix.
AML analysts learning Python
You know BFIU guidelines. This turns that domain knowledge into working code, end-to-end, without starting from scratch.
Fintech developers
A working POC transaction monitoring engine you can adapt, extend, or demo to compliance stakeholders.
Freelancers & consultants
Pitching banks, MFIs, or compliance vendors in Bangladesh or South Asia? Show them a live demo of domain-calibrated AML capability.
Tech stack
Pure Python. No paid APIs. No cloud setup required. Runs locally on Windows / Mac / Linux.
Common questions
Is this only useful for Bangladesh?
No. The BD calibration (bKash/Nagad thresholds, BDT amounts, BFIU citations) makes it a great portfolio piece for South Asia. But the architecture — rule engine + baseline-relative thresholds + ML layer — applies to any MFS or digital payments context globally. UPI, JazzCash, M-Pesa, PayTM all share the same calibration problem.
What Python level do I need?
Intermediate. You should be comfortable with Pandas and Jupyter notebooks. The code is heavily commented and includes a walkthrough notebook. No prior AML/compliance knowledge required — RULE_CALIBRATION.md explains the regulatory logic.
How do I get the code after buying?
Immediately after purchase, Gumroad sends an email with a GitHub collaborator invitation. You accept it and get access to the private repo. The download link in Gumroad also includes a zip of all notebooks and scripts.
Does the $39 include future updates?
Yes. The roadmap includes transaction network graph (NetworkX), SAR PDF generator, and a REST API wrapper. All updates go into the same private repo — you get them automatically as a collaborator.
Ready to build a real AML portfolio project?
One-time payment. Instant GitHub access. All future updates included.
