SWIFT Transaction Processor

The SWIFT Transaction Processor is an advanced AI-powered system for processing SWIFT financial messages with sophisticated fraud detection capabilities. The system leverages multiple AI agent patterns including Evaluator-Optimizer for message validation and correction, Parallelization for concurrent fraud detection, Prompt Chaining for enhanced fraud analysis, and Orchestrator-Worker for high-value transaction processing. The system orchestrates a multi-step pipeline to generate, validate, and analyze SWIFT messages, demonstrating robust fraud detection and efficient transaction handling.

Problem Statement

SWIFT transaction processing faces critical challenges:

• High volume of transactions requiring rapid processing
• Complex fraud detection requiring multiple analysis layers
• Need for message validation and correction
• Requirement for parallel processing to handle throughput
• Critical need for accuracy in financial transactions

Solution

Built a comprehensive transaction processing system featuring:

• Evaluator-Optimizer Pattern: Validates and corrects SWIFT messages
• Parallel Fraud Detection: Concurrent analysis across multiple dimensions
• Prompt Chaining: Sequential analysis for complex fraud patterns
• Orchestrator-Worker Pattern: Coordinates high-value transaction processing
• Multi-Step Pipeline: End-to-end processing from generation to validation
• Robust Error Handling: Graceful failure management for financial operations

Architecture

The system implements multiple AI agent patterns:

1. Message Generation Agent:

   • Creates SWIFT messages from transaction data
   • Validates format compliance
   • Ensures required fields are present

2. Evaluator-Optimizer Agents:

   • Evaluator: Validates message correctness and compliance
   • Optimizer: Corrects identified issues and improves message quality
   • Iterative refinement until message meets standards

3. Parallel Fraud Detection Agents:

   • Amount Analysis Agent: Detects anomalous transaction amounts
   • Pattern Matching Agent: Identifies suspicious transaction patterns
   • Historical Analysis Agent: Compares against historical transaction data
   • Risk Scoring Agent: Calculates overall transaction risk score

4. Prompt Chaining Agent:

   • Sequences multiple analysis steps
   • Builds comprehensive fraud assessment
   • Synthesizes results from parallel agents

5. Orchestrator-Worker Pattern:

   • Orchestrator: Coordinates high-value transaction processing
   • Worker Agents: Perform specialized validation tasks
   • Aggregation: Combines worker results for final decision

Key Technologies

• Evaluator-Optimizer Pattern: Iterative validation and improvement
• Parallel Processing: Concurrent fraud detection across dimensions
• Prompt Chaining: Sequential analysis building on previous results
• Orchestrator-Worker: Coordinated multi-agent workflows
• SWIFT Message Format: Compliance with financial messaging standards

Fraud Detection Pipeline

1. Initial Validation: Message format and compliance check
2. Parallel Analysis: Simultaneous fraud detection across multiple dimensions
3. Risk Aggregation: Combines scores from parallel agents
4. Deep Analysis: Prompt chaining for complex patterns
5. Final Decision: Orchestrator coordinates final approval/rejection
