director of the board of directors of The OLB Group, Inc. (the &ldquo;<B>Company</B>&rdquo;) dismissed Liggett &amp; Webb,
P.A. (&ldquo;<B>L&amp;W</B>&rdquo;), the Company&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm, effective
immediately. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, L&amp;W&rsquo;s audit reports on the Company's
financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles other than related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the
subsequent period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company
and L&amp;W on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to L&amp;W&rsquo;s satisfaction, would have caused L&amp;W to make reference
in connection with L&amp;W&rsquo;s opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement; and (ii) there were
no &ldquo;reportable events&rdquo; as the term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.</P>

The letter from L&amp;W, dated January 29, 2019, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.</P>

respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, nor the type
