Subsection 7 of Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the &#8220;Nevada Law&#8221;) provides that, subject to certain limited statutory exceptions, or unless the articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto, in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003, provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless the presumption established by subsection 3 has been rebutted and it is proven that the director&#8217;s or officer&#8217;s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.&nbsp; The statutory standard of liability established by Section 78.138 controls even if there is a conflicting provision in the corporation&#8217;s articles of incorporation unless an amendment to Usio&#8217;s Articles of Incorporation were to provide for greater individual liability.</p>

The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may require the corporation to pay such expenses upon receipt of such an undertaking. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">We have acted as counsel to Usio, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the &#8220;Registration Statement&#8221;) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Act&#8221;), relating to the registration of the offer and sale of up to 2,500,000 shares (the &#8220;Shares&#8221;) of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (&#8220;Common Stock&#8221;), reserved for issuance under the Usio, Inc. 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the&nbsp;&#8220;Plan&#8221;).</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">We have examined and relied upon the originals or certified copies of all documents, certificates and instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of the opinions expressed herein, including the Registration Statement, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company in effect as of the date hereof, certain resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company and copies of the Plan. In making the foregoing examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us, and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">We have assumed that (i)&nbsp;at the time of issuance of any Shares, there shall be a sufficient number of duly authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to accommodate such issuance; (ii)&nbsp;appropriate action will be taken to register and qualify the Shares for sale under all applicable state securities laws; (iii)&nbsp;the Shares to be sold will be issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan; (iv)&nbsp;the Company will receive the full consideration for any Shares issued pursuant to the Plan; and (v)&nbsp;the per share consideration for each Share will include payment of cash or other lawful consideration at least equal to the par value of the Company&#8217;s Common Stock. It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">Based solely upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and other statements set forth herein, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">We express no opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than the general corporate laws of the State of Nevada. The reference and limitation to the &#8220;general corporate laws of the State of Nevada&#8221; includes the statutory provisions of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and all applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws. We express no opinion to the extent any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.&nbsp; We express no opinion as to any matter other than as set forth herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied herefrom.&nbsp; The opinion expressed herein is given as of this date, and we do not undertake to supplement this opinion with respect to any events or changes occurring subsequent to the date of this letter.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section&nbsp;7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.</p>
