Abstract: Abstract With the widespread application of technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, coupled with increasing policy support, digital transformation has permeated the entire business operation process, emerging as a pivotal force in reshaping the commercial credit ecosystem. This study therefore employs empirical research to explore the relationship between digital transformation and corporate commercial credit financing. The findings indicate that digital transformation does indeed facilitate commercial credit financing, and that reducing supplier concentration is a critical pathway through which digital transformation drives such financing. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that this promotional effect is more pronounced in central and western regions, state-owned enterprises, and high-tech firms. This study offers new insights into corporate financing logic in the digital era and provides valuable implications for governments to optimize digital support policies and for enterprises to advance digital transformation with precision.
