This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on the role of digital financial services in promoting financial access and economic development between 2010 and 2023. Using the Scopus database, 695 documents were analyzed using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The results reveal a growing interdisciplinary interest in FinTech and financial inclusion, with a surge in research production since 2016. The findings highlight influential authors, institutions, and publications, global collaboration patterns, and emerging research themes and trends. Policymakers are encouraged to foster a conducive environment for FinTech growth, while future research should focus on vulnerable populations, alternative financing, and emerging technologies.
