Financing sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a crucial issue in the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda. This paper aims at enumerating and stating different channels through which Fintech can mobilize funding resources for achieving sustainable development through determining the scope of the existing literature about sources of finance for SDGs. The methodology used is literature review to determine the extent of existing literature on financing sources for SDGs. The analysis specifically considers articles and book chapters published between 2012 and 2023 in Scopus-indexed journals and google scholar. This review paper identifies research gaps in the context of sustainability goals, financing sources, Islamic financial tools, and the use of Fintech in financing SDGs. It emphasizes the need for further exploration of specific goals with less attention, suitable financing tools for each goal and country, and understanding financing strategies aligned with specific social, political, and economic circumstances. The paper also highlights research gaps in publications about developing countries and the role of Islamic finance in achieving the SDGs. Additionally, it highlights necessary policy actions to tackle fintech challenges, including establishing clear regulatory frameworks, investing in digital infrastructure, and promoting collaboration between fintech companies, traditional financial institutions, and regulatory bodies. Implementing robust cybersecurity measures, regulatory sandboxes, and consumer protection policies can bridge the digital divide, drive financial inclusion, and promote sustainable development.
