Abstract: PurposeSupply chain finance (SCF) is a cutting-edge method for optimizing financial flows in supply chains that has piqued the interest of both academics and businesses. This study examines the literature on the drivers of SCF, as well as the mediators, moderators and theories used in the SCF–performance link.Design/methodology/approachThis research uses a systematic literature review technique to examine 175 articles using bibliometric analysis and subsequently 30 empirical studies for content analysis of SCF and performance literature that were found on Web of Science.FindingsThe study identified drivers of SCF and classified them into financial, managerial, supply chain and external drivers. Supply chain risk, green supply chain integration, supply and demand-oriented performance were the mediators in the SCF and performance relationship. The study further identifies gaps in the SCF–performance link.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying and discussing previous studies on SCF and performance, presenting what is already known, identifying research gaps and offering five actionable options for further research.
