Abstract

The rapid development of digitalization and the associated transformation of society have created conditions not only for the adaptation of existing FinTech innovations but also for the formation of new directions that fulfill more specific goals and needs of the consumer market, which is Green FinTech. The article considers the global development of Green FinTech, systematizes these directions, and determines their role in achieving sustainable development goals. The article presents different approaches to the concept of FinTech, indicates the factors and technologies that affect its development, and identifies modern trends and opportunities for building an ecological model of the economy based on sustainable development. The authors conclude that the application of FinTech in image and charitable eco-projects, green investment, and the formation of a green digital infrastructure testify to the prospects of this direction and the opportunity of using Green FinTech to build an ecological model of the economy based on sustainable development
