To this end, an applied methodology is presented in this study to model bank loan defaults, emphasizing the incorporation of sustainability criteria into predictive analytics. Given the temporal nature of load data, our approach leverages Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks as its backbone process for predictive modeling.  The empirical results of the public case study underscored the enhanced predictive accuracy completed through this approach, emphasizing the pivotal function of integrating sustainability metrics in predicting mortgage defaults inside the banking area. 2024 2024 17 24 10.54216/AJBOR.110102 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/1/show/2298
