As a part of the national economy, Small and Medium-sized enterprises play a role in promoting a country's economy, but most studies show that financing constraints hinder the innovation and development of small and Medium-sized enterprises. This paper analyzed the effect of descriptive statistics, robustness test, and heterogeneity analysis to explore the impact of digital financial development on small and Medium-sized enterprises' financing constraints. Research shows that with the increase of the digital finance index, financing constraint tends to decrease. Therefore, the development of digital finance plays a positive role in the financing constraints of small and Medium-sized enterprises.
