Abstract: 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.
