Abstract

Growing usage of fintech on the one hand has opened new ways of financial transactions but, on the other hand, has led to new methods of fraud and money laundering. The main objective of this article is to provide a holistic picture to the researchers of the overall trend, structure, and shift in financial fraud. The study uses bibliometric analysis to analyze fintech instruments leading to financial fraud. The finding of this study shows that there is a substantial increase in research regarding financial fraud and a major chunk of the research originates from the United States followed by the United Kingdom. The study also provides top-cited articles, prolific authors and co-citations, top journals, and institutions associated with Fintech and financial fraud. A thematic structure analysis is done through bibliometric coupling which presents five major clusters related to fintech and financial fraud. This is the first study, to the best of my knowledge, which provides a decadal coverage in the area of fintech and financial fraud together. The paper helps the researchers to find important journals and topics for publishing their articles. The study also provides the potential research direction that a researcher can explore for further studies.
