This article provides a systematic literature review on financial inclusion, offering a comprehensive overview of research publications. It also develops a conceptual framework to outline future research objectives, enhancing understanding and identifying key areas for further investigation.
Design/methodology/approach
The data extraction concentrates on facts and figures about financial inclusion from 2005 to 2024. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), the study reviews and synthesizes insights from 115 pertinent articles published in 77 high-ranked journals, indexed across three academic databases: Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) and the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC).
Previous research on financial inclusion demonstrates that out of 115 articles, 50 were published between 2020 and 2024 and 43 between 2015 and 2019. This indicates the increasing trend of research on financial inclusion. Another interesting point is that researchers mostly use regression techniques to analyze the relationship between variables. Notably, reviewing the selected literature is valuable for researchers and practitioners interested in financial inclusion. It synthesizes the existing knowledge on the topic, identifies research gaps and suggests a conceptual framework to direct future studies.
Originality/value
This unique study contributes original value to the financial inclusion literature through a systematic literature review. By synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying research gaps, it presents a novel framework that offers new perspectives and highlights areas for future research, advancing the understanding of financial inclusion.

The results using the fixed effects estimation show that financial inclusion has an alleviating effect on poverty in low- and lower middle-income countries. The absolute reduction in the poverty headcount ratio of 5,50 USD per day is greater than the one at 1,90 USD per day.
financial inclusion is not uniquely driven by a greater banking system outreach, the legal environment in which individuals and financial institutions interact, the existence of enabling regulatory frameworks for the expansion of financial services to the unbanked, and an adequate
Three main conclusions can be drawn from the findings of the study. First, fintech-driven financial inclusion is a better strategy than traditional financial inclusion to bring the poor and rural populations into the financial system. Second, fintech-driven financial inclusion can contribute to economic growth in SSA.
Using the natural experiment on bank expansion in India, research has documented a 1.52 percent decrease in rural poverty for every 1 percentage point increase in the share of credit disbursed (Burgess and Pande 2005), although these findings have been contested (Panagariya 2006 and Kochar 2011).
