Abstract: Bibliometric analysis is crucial in understanding the evolution of research trends and knowledge in various fields. This study applies bibliometric analysis to explore the growth of the research paradigm on agility in the FinTech literature, using co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling of selected articles. Based on this bibliometric analysis, the evolution of research on agility in the FinTech domain has been prepared, focusing on the literature related to FinTech agility between 1984 and 2022. In this study, we also address the limitations of individual analyses from Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) and propose a comprehensive approach by merging the two research databases. The results reveal significant disparities between authors, publication influences, and keyword occurrences between the WOS and merged databases. Our research highlights the importance of combining a database approach in bibliometric studies, providing valuable insights for scholars, researchers, and stakeholders. Finally, the in-depth bibliometric analysis demonstrates the significance of “FinTech agility” in the rapidly evolving FinTech sector. Financial technology companies’ agility, or ability to adapt quickly, is the foundation of their success and innovation.
