“…Other studies focus on the critical success factors of digital finance. They show that financial literacy (Shen et al, 2018), digital literacy (Morgan et al, 2019), access to a mobile phone (Sapovadia, 2018), and access to the internet (Zhu et al, 2016) are major determinants of the use of digital finance products and channels. Some challenges to digital finance have been identified in the literature.…”

Identifying the intersection between digital finance, green finance and social finance is important for promoting sustainable financial, social and environmental development. This paper suggests a link between digital finance, green finance and social finance. Using a simple conceptual model, I show that digital finance offers a smooth, efficient and seamless channel for individuals and corporations to fund social projects that deliver a social dividend, and green projects lead to a sustainable environment. The implication is that digital finance is both an enabler and a channel for efficient green financing and social financing.

“…Studies related to DL in applied economics and finance have tended to focus on two specific lines of research. Some have analyzed the effects of FL on the adoption and usage of DFS-rather than DL, per se (Königsheim et al, 2017;Morgan & Trinh, 2019b;Shen et al, 2018). These studies have contended that FL represents an effective means by which to promote the usage of DFS and manage related financial risks, while simultaneously advancing the goals of financial inclusion.…”

“…Other studies have concentrated on the relationship between access to and usage of DFS and the adoption of specific digital financial behaviors and practices. For example, a growing body of research has examined the impacts of mobile money and found a positive relationship between mobile money access and usage and increases in savings, borrowing, transfers, and remittances (Apiors & Suzuki, 2018;Bharadwaj et al, 2019;Demombynes & Thegeya, 2012;Lyons, Kass-Hanna, & Greenlee, 2021;Mbiti & Weil, 2015;Ouma et al, 2017;Seng, 2017).…”

Researchers and financial practitioners alike recognize the importance of defining and measuring financial literacy (FL) to better understand its relationship to financial behavior and decision-making. Despite many efforts, there is still no widely accepted definition or methodological approach for measuring FL. The rapid expansion of digital financial services (DFS), which promises to enhance financial inclusion and improve personal financial management, has brought to light a new challenge: linking FL to digital literacy (DL) and assessing their dual effect on financial outcomes. Recent research has even proposed a framework to operationalize the emerging concept of digital financial literacy (DFL), as traditional FL definitions and metrics have become insufficient to capture the specificities of financial services within a digital context. This survey article discusses empirical research techniques being used to assess FL, DL, and most recently DFL. It highlights the characteristics and limitations of these approaches and suggests ways to address some of the challenges related to the construction, testing, weighting, and standardization of multidimensional measures, as well as methodological issues related to modeling and estimation. The article is a helpful guide to researchers and practitioners interested in FL in general and in the emerging concept of "digital" financial literacy.

“…Conversely, low levels of financial literacy will affect people's perceptions in financial decision making and can have an impact on low trust in products, lack of willingness to accept financial advice (Anderson, 2017).
