MINT is a graph neural network framework designed to detect illicit accounts in financial transaction networks. It addresses structural inconsistency by using an attentive message‑passing scheme that tracks deviations between nodes in bi‑directional flows and a transaction salience module that regularizes node interactions. To cope with limited labeled data, MINT employs Positive‑Unlabeled learning, leveraging a small set of known illicit nodes and many unlabeled ones, and demonstrates superior performance on three benchmark datasets.
The paper introduces Temporal-Context Edge Enrichment (TCEE), a framework that uses frozen time‑series foundation models (TSFMs) to summarise each account’s transaction history and enrich transaction representations with temporal context. These enriched edges can be directly scored for classification or used as features in a graph neural network (GNN). Across six AMLWorld datasets, TCEE improves PR‑AUC by an average of 10.8% over the best baseline and trains 6.0× faster; when combined with a GNN, it yields an additional 4.8% improvement on smaller datasets and a 14.5% gain on an Ethereum phishing dataset.

Credit risk detection, particularly mitigating individual fraud, is crucial for maintaining the stability of digital financial ecosystems. Accurately identifying credit fraud among billions of users is critical for minimizing financial losses and safeguarding the sustainability of inclusive financial services.
