Supply chain finance (SCF) is an innovative solution dedicated to optimising financial flows in supply chains, and has drawn tremendous attention from academia industry. Considering the ever-evolving nature of SCF, existing literature reviews this field are limited due a lack integration recent findings. Motivated by limitation, we attempt fill gap investigating novel achievements that have been reported current literature. By conducting systematic review, selected 99 qualified papers published between 2010 first quarter 2021, then used descriptive analysis identify characteristics, followed in-depth content analysis. We synthesised nine research dimensions SCF virtue comprehensive analysis, illustrated embedded mechanisms among all participants practices, updated framework, summarised most dominant methods applied research, made two classifications service providers (FSPs) instruments, provided five future directions. The significance paper lies providing both theoretical foundation for academic researchers practical guide industrial practitioners.
