Abstract . Research on sustainability and digital banking has received a lot of attention lately, reflecting the growing intersection between financial technology (FinTech) and environmental responsibility. This bibliometric analysis provides an overview of global research trends in this domain from 2014 to 2025(February). Using Dimensions AI, a total of 2,194 publications were initially identified on March 1st, 2025, with 2,148 retained after screening. VOS Viewer was used to visualize and interpret bibliometric data. The most cited journal in this field was Technological Forecasting and Social Change, while the highest number of publications were found in the journal Sustainability. Brian M. Lucey from the University of Dublin emerged as the most highly cited author, highlighting his influential contributions. A co-authorship analysis was conducted, revealing the most connected research network, visualized through network mapping techniques. In terms of geographical contributions, China ranked first, followed by the United Kingdom, indicating strong research output from these regions. Emerging research themes suggest an increasing focus on green digital banking adoption, blockchain-driven sustainability solutions, ESG frameworks in FinTech, and AI-driven responsible banking. These findings provide a comprehensive roadmap for future research, emphasizing the need for policy frameworks, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and empirical studies on the sustainability impact of digital banking innovations.
