  • The contribution of mobile FinTech to sustainable development: empirical evidence from the MySalam application in Algeria   Order a copy of this article
    by Lina Bougouffa 
    Abstract: This study investigates the impact of mobile financial technology on sustainable development in Algeria, focusing on the MySalam digital banking application. Employing a quantitative empirical approach, data were collected from 110 users and analysed using SPSS v22 and SmartPLS 4 to evaluate the effects of mobile FinTech across the economic, social, environmental, and technological dimensions. The results confirm a statistically significant positive contribution of mobile financial services to sustainable development, particularly in enhancing technological advancement and social inclusion, while the environmental dimension remains comparatively weaker. The study offers empirical evidence from an emerging economy and suggests that promoting digital literacy and user engagement can further enhance the developmental benefits of FinTech in Algeria.
    Keywords: financial technology; sustainable development; mobile fintech; digital banking; economic development; social inclusion; environmental sustainability; innovation; digital literacy; Algeria.
