To identify the most recent trends in the literature about the convergence of FinTech and Sustainability, this study combines bibliometric analysis with a thorough literature review using documents from the Scopus database. The current body of literature in a particular topic of research is thoroughly and methodically examined on a systematic literature analysis. One quantitative technique that makes it easier to identify current trends and underlying ideas in a subject is bibliometric analysis. Trends, evolution, bibliometrics, mapping, and qualitative content analyses serve as the foundation for the analysis. By following all inclusion and exclusion criteria, 116 papers that were taken from the Scopus database were bibliometrically reviewed in order to identify popular keywords, notable authors, institutions, and countries. WordStat was used for content analysis, and Biblioshiney and VOSviewer were used to determine the most cited papers. The results identified five noteworthy clusters. The results show a significant increase in the examination of the connection between FinTech and Sustainability starting in 2021, highlighting the significance of technological advancements and financial innovations in the corporate sphere. Implications for Central European audience: The study's conclusions have significance for sustainability research as well as FinTech, stressing the importance of relevant research methods and the part FinTech plays in developing and putting sustainable practises and initiatives into reality. The study outlines the development of the literature on the connection between sustainability and fintech, offering insights into influential writers, countries, organisations, and journal sources. The study's insights help to direct future research in this field by providing a road map for more investigation and comprehension of the changing dynamics between sustainability and FinTech.
