Abstract

Modern developments in financial technology (FinTech) contribute to the sustainability of a community. The term 'FinTech' refers to an expansive industry that encompasses everything from data protection to the deliverance of financial services, enabling businesses to optimise their operations and develop innovative new products. As a result, field specialists are in high demand because more people rely on them to predict the subject's future development. This study aims to be the first comprehensive examination of FinTech research. In this investigation, open access research is also assessed. The articles were selected from Web of Science (WOS) between 2016 and 2022. The initial search resulted in 3,033 publications, but only 889 were considered for the study. Bibliometric analysis is performed using Biblioshiny R Studio. Throughout the course of history, there has been an upward trend in the rate of publication. This will result in significant benefits for China, the USA, and the UK. Numerous studies have focused on the Chinese economy, banking system, financial services, and financial technology. The objectives of this investigation into adoption, impact, returns, and risk are to address information gaps, organise essential topics, contribute to the existing literature, and set the foundation for future research.
