In this context, our study focused on the financial inclusion and development effects on Fintech and Bigtech lending. Using a 37-country unbalanced panel observed during the 2013–2019 period, our results reveal that financial inclusion and financial development are significant determinants of Fintech and Bigtech lending.

Additionally, we incorporated a COVID-19 dummy variable into our initial model to account for the pandemic health impact. The inclusion of this indicator improved the efficiency of the estimated coefficients for ATMs and domestic credit to the private sector. To consider the heterogeneity effect between developed and developing countries, we also introduced a dummy variable.
