Aiming at the problem that the credit card default data of a financial institution is unbalanced, which leads to unsatisfactory prediction results, this paper proposes a prediction model based on k-means SMOTE and BP neural network. In this model, k-means SMOTE algorithm is used to change the data distribution, and then the importance of data features is calculated by using random forest, and then it is substituted into the initial weights of BP neural network for prediction. The model effectively solves the problem of sample data imbalance. At the same time, this paper constructs five common machine learning models, KNN, logistics, SVM, random forest, and tree, and compares the classification performance of these six prediction models. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can greatly improve the prediction performance of the model, making its AUC value from 0.765 to 0.929. Moreover, when the importance of features is taken as the initial weight of BP neural network, the accuracy of model prediction is also slightly improved. In addition, compared with the other five prediction models, the comprehensive prediction effect of BP neural network is better.

The growth of regularly generated data from many financial activities has significant implications for every corner of financial modelling. This study has investigated the utilization of these continuous growing data by a means of an automated process. The automated process can be developed by using Machine learning based techniques that analyze the data and gain experience from the underlying data. Different important domains of financial fields such as Credit card fraud detection, bankruptcy detection, loan default prediction, investment prediction, marketing and many more can be modelled by implementing machine learning methods. Among several machine learning based techniques, the use of parametric and non-parametric based methods are approached by this research. Two parametric models namely Logistic Regression, Gaussian Naive Bayes models and two non-parametric methods such as Random Forest, Decision Tree are implemented in this paper. All the mentioned models are developed and implemented in the field of Credit card fraud detection, bankruptcy detection, loan default prediction. In each of the aforementioned cases, the comparative study among the classification techniques is drawn and the best model is identified. The performance of each classifier on each considered domain is evaluated by various performance metrics such as accuracy, F1-score and mean squared error. In the credit card fraud detection model the decision tree classifier performs the best with an accuracy of 99.1% and, in the loan default prediction and bankruptcy detection model, the random forest classifier gives the best accuracy of  97% and 96.84% respectively.
