FinTech literature reviews: A hybrid approach

Dharen Kumar Pandey

Finance Research Letters, 2025, vol. 79, issue C

Abstract: Using a hybrid literature review incorporating the TCCM (Theory, Context, Characteristics, Methodology) framework in bibliometric analysis, this study maps 68 Financial Technology (FinTech) literature reviews from top-ranked ABDC-listed journals, to reveal significant growth and scholarly attention since 2018. While highlighting influential journals and authors, it provides insights into different theories, contexts, characteristics, and methodologies adopted by researchers. India and the United States lead contributions, while the United Kingdom garners the highest citations. Network analysis unveils five thematic clusters, highlighting regulatory issues, blockchain, innovation, financial inclusion and sustainability topics. Future research should integrate FinTech with ESG, Islamic finance, and financial inclusion.
