                  DCAP Group Obtains $21.5 million of Financing
                     To Fund its Premium Finance Operations
                             -----------------------


HEWLETT,  N.Y., July 14, 2003 - DCAP Group,  Inc. (OTCBB:  DCAP) today announced
that its premium finance subsidiary, Payments, Inc., has obtained an $18 million
two-year  revolving line of credit from  Manufacturers  and Traders Trust Co. to
finance its premium finance operations.  Concurrently,  DCAP Group obtained $3.5
million in funding from a private placement of subordinated debt and warrants to
support its premium finance  operations.  The private  placement lenders include
the  Sanders  Opportunity  Fund and a group of New  York  investors  led by Jack
Seibald.

"We've worked hard to grow our premium finance business for more than two years.
With this line of credit and funding, we go from being a "broker" of these loans
to that of a  principal,"  said Barry  Goldstein,  DCAP Group  Chairman and CEO.
Goldstein  continued,  "In the past we  originated  loans  through our insurance
agency affiliates and others under the name Payments, Inc., but immediately sold
them to a licensed  subsidiary of Flatiron Credit Company,  Inc. of Denver,  CO.
For this, we received from Flatiron a fee per loan. In essence, Flatiron, acting
as the  financing  source,  provided  the  incubator  and allowed us to grow our
brand.  With  Flatiron's exit from the  transaction,  the profits of the lending
business  will be  entirely  for the  benefit of  Payments  Inc.  Input 1 LLC of
Woodland Hills, CA, the third party servicer that had been employed by Flatiron,
will continue to service our loans, so the transition will be virtually seamless
to our agency clients.

"Payments,  Inc. will retain ownership of the loans, and will recognize interest
income,  late fee and loan fee revenues  over the life of each loan. As well, we
will incur typical  operating  expenses,  including those relating to servicing,
interest on our senior and subordinated  debt, bad debts and the amortization of
the credit facility costs. Rather than recognizing all of our revenue during the
month in which a new loan is booked, our income will be spread out over the life
of the loan, which is generally ten months," said Goldstein.

Goldstein  pointed out that this will cause a reduction in both revenues and net
income for the third quarter of 2003 as compared to the second  quarter.  "While
the net  income  per  loan  retained  should  substantially  exceed  the fees we
previously  received,  it will take approximately  three to four months until we
build up enough  receivables  to get us to the same monthly  revenue and income.
Assuming  that  our  current  monthly  rate of loan  originations  continues,  I
estimate  that at the close of 2003 our  balance  sheet  will  reflect  loans in
excess of $20 million," said Goldstein.

The  securities  offered to raise the $3,500,000  were not registered  under the
Securities  Act of 1933  and may not be  offered  or sold in the  United  States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
