at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on Friday, December 19, 2025

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS

Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?

The Company has made these materials available to you in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for use at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held virtually on Friday, December 19, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, and at any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof. These materials were first sent or given to stockholders on or about November 25, 2025. This proxy statement gives you information on these proposals so that you can make an informed decision.

In this proxy statement, we refer to The OLB Group, Inc. as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” or similar terminology.

What is included in these materials?

These materials include:

• This Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting; and

• The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Who can vote at the annual meeting of stockholders?

Stockholders who owned shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) on November 25, 2025 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. There were 8,780,749 shares of Common Stock and zero shares of Preferred Stock outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of Common Stock have one vote per share. Information about the stockholdings of our directors and executive officers is contained in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Principal Stockholders, Officers and Directors” on page 26 of this Proxy Statement.

What is the proxy card?

The proxy card enables you to appoint Mr. Patrick Smith, Vice President, Finance, as your representative at the Annual Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card or voting online as described herein, you are authorizing Mr. Smith to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we think that it is a good idea to complete and return your proxy card before the Annual Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Annual Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxy will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to his best judgment. The proxy card (or voter information form) will also contain your control number. You will need to use the control number appearing on your proxy card to vote prior to or at the Annual Meeting.

What am I voting on?

You are being asked to vote:

1. To elect, Ronny Yakov, Ehud Ernst, Amir Sternhell and Alina Dulimof as directors (the “Director Nominees”) to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for a one-year term that expires at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified;

2. To ratify the appointment by the Board of RBSM, LLC (the “Auditor”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025;

Table of Contents

3. To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement; and

4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Director Nominees, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of RBSM, LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Most of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Transfer Online, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Annual Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares as described below. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by or at the direction of your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to vote your shares and to attend the Annual Meeting as described below. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote prior to the Annual Meeting as described below to ensure that your vote is counted.

How do I vote my shares?

There are four ways to vote:

(1) Via the Internet. Use the internet to vote by going to the internet address listed on your proxy card; have your proxy card or in hand as you will be prompted to enter your control number to create and submit an electronic vote. If you vote in this manner, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card or submit an electronic vote but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

(2) Via telephone. Using a touch-tone telephone, you may transmit your voting instructions to the number provided on your proxy card. Have your proxy card in hand as you will be prompted to enter your control number to create and submit a telephonic vote.

(3) In person. You may vote at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions when you log-in for the Annual Meeting. Have your proxy card in hand as you will be prompted to enter your control number to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to gain access to the virtual Annual Meeting to vote your shares during the meeting or ask questions during the meeting. You will not be able to vote at the meeting unless you have submitted proof of a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee issued in your name giving you the right to vote your shares.

2

Table of Contents

(4) By Mail. You may vote by mail. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail and are a record holder, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided. If you are a beneficial holder you may vote by proxy by filling out the vote instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided by your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What if I change my mind after I return my proxy?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting. You may do this by:

• sending a written notice to Patrick Smith, our Vice President, Finance, stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;

• signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it before the polls close at the Annual Meeting; or

• Voting at the Annual Meeting.

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you may need to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting form provided to you by the broker, bank or other nominee.

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

If your shares are held in your name and you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, your nominee may determine to vote your shares at its own discretion on certain routine matters, such as the ratification of the Auditor, absent instructions from you. However, due to voting rules that will prevent your bank or broker from voting your uninstructed shares on a discretionary basis in the election of directors and the other non-routine matters, it is important that you cast your vote.

How may I vote with respect to each proposal and how are votes counted?

Your voting options will be dependent on the particular proposal for which you wish to cast a vote. With respect to proposal 1 (the election of directors), you may vote “for” all of the Director Nominees or “withhold” authority to vote for one or all of the Director Nominees. With respect to proposals 2 and 3, you may vote “for” or “against” the proposal or you may “abstain” from casting a vote on such proposal. Abstentions, votes marked “withheld” and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

Broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. The election of the directors, and the approval on an advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers are “non-routine.” Thus, in tabulating the voting result for these proposals, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on that proposal. The ratification of the appointment of the Auditor is “routine” matters and therefore a broker may vote on this matter without instructions from the beneficial owner as long as instructions are not given.

How many votes are required to approve each of the proposals?

For the Director Election Proposal, the four persons receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of Common Stock is required to approve each of the other proposals.

Table of Contents

What happens if I don’t indicate how to vote my proxy?

If you just sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares will be counted as a “FOR” vote for each of the Director Nominees, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce voting results at the Annual Meeting and file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the voting results of the Annual Meeting.

Who can help answer my questions?

You can contact our Vice President, Finance, Patrick Smith, at (212) 278-0900 or by sending a letter to Mr. Smith at the offices of the Company at 1120 Avenue of the Americas, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036 with any questions about proposals described in this Proxy Statement or how to execute your vote.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Introduction

The Board has nominated the Director Nominees to stand for election at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders will be asked to elect each of the Director Nominees, each to hold office until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The enclosed proxy, if returned, and unless indicated to the contrary, will be voted for the election of each of the Director Nominees.

We have been advised by each of the Director Nominees that he or she is willing to be named as a nominee and each is willing to serve, or continue to serve as a director if elected. If some unexpected occurrence should make necessary, in the discretion of the Board, the substitution of some other person for the nominees, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote for the election of such other persons as may be designated by the Board.

Board Qualifications

We believe that the collective skills, experiences and qualifications of our directors provide our Board with the expertise and experience necessary to advance the interests of our stockholders. In selecting directors, the Board considers candidates that possess qualifications and expertise that will enhance the composition of the Board, including the considerations set forth below. The considerations set forth below are not meant as minimum qualifications, but rather as guidelines in weighing all of a candidate’s qualifications and expertise. In addition to the individual attributes of each of our current directors described below, we believe that our directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values, consistent with our longstanding values and standards. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, exhibit commitment to enhancing stockholder value and have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on their past experience.

Director Nominees

Our Board currently consists of four directors, Ronny Yakov, Ehud Ernst, Amir Sternhell, and Alina Dulimof.

The Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board indicated its desire to continue with the current composition of the Board. Accordingly, at the Annual Meeting, the four incumbent directors (Ronny Yakov, Ehud Ernst, Amir Sternhell, and Alina Dulimof) were nominated each to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify. Each of the current directors that has determined to stand for reelection at the Annual Meeting has been nominated for reelection to the Board. All of the Director Nominees are available for election as members of the Board. If for any reason a Director Nominee becomes unavailable for election, the proxies solicited by the Board will be voted for a substitute nominee selected by the Board.

The following sets forth the biographical background information for all of our Director Nominees:

Ronny Yakov has been Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors, founder and majority shareholder of the Company since 2004. Mr. Yakov has over 25 years of experience of concept-to-print, software and e-commerce marketing experience with Fortune 500 and 1,000 companies and a proven track record of helping clients adapt their businesses to technological developments. In 1996, Mr. Yakov entered into the electronic mail-order catalog business with Playboy Enterprises, creating and hosting two e-commerce sites: Critics’ Choice Video and Collectors’ Choice Music. As founder of the Company, Mr. Yakov has since developed a number of other branded e-commerce sites for clients, selling a variety of products including sporting goods, chocolates and cosmetics, with which the company now partners to provide ongoing hosting and maintenance. Other significant accomplishments of Mr. Yakov have included establishing an AT&T wholesale e-commerce platform for 180,000 employees and working with high-profile clients such as Disney, Cisco Systems, Pfizer, Motorola, and Microsoft, among many others. Mr. Yakov also developed and maintains a complex extranet/intranet infrastructure that allows Doremus, an Omnicom Communication subsidiary, to provide its advertising services to 50 of the top financial institutions on a real-time basis. Mr. Yakov qualifies as a Director as a result of him being the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his work experience in the software and payment processing marketplaces.

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the risks facing our company and considers risk in every business decision and as part of our business strategy. The Board of Directors recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk, and that strategic and appropriate risk-taking is essential for us to compete in our industry and in the global market and to achieve our growth and profitability objectives. Effective risk oversight, therefore, is an important priority of the Board of Directors.

While the Board of Directors oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. Our Board of Directors expects management to consider risk and risk management in each business decision, to proactively develop and monitor risk management strategies and processes for day-to-day activities and to effectively implement risk management strategies that are adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors expects to review and adjust our risk management strategies at regular intervals or as needed.

Committees of the Board

On August 6, 2020, the Board established an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Nominating Committee”). Each committee has a charter which will be reviewed on an annual basis by the members of such committee. A current copy of each committee charter is available to stockholders on the Company’s website at www.olb.com.

Audit Committee

We have a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Nasdaq Listing Rules.

In addition, the committee will have at least one member who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in rules and regulations of the SEC.

The principal duties and responsibilities of the Company’s audit committee are to appoint the Company’s independent auditors, oversee the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial reporting and the audit of the Company’s financial statements by its independent auditors and in fulfilling its obligations, the Company’s audit committee will review with the Company’s management and independent auditors the scope and result of the annual audit, the auditors’ independence and the Company’s accounting policies.

The audit committee will be required to report regularly to the Board to discuss any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company’s financial statements, its compliance with legal or regulatory requirements and the performance and independence of the Company’s independent auditors.

Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Committee.

Review and Discussions with Independent Auditors.

Transactions with Related Persons

On January 3, 2022, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with all of the shareholders of Crowd Ignition, Inc. (“Crowd Ignition”) whereby the Company purchased 100% of the equity of Crowd Ignition in exchange for 131,840 shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 of the Company (the “CI Issued Shares”). The value of the CI Issued Shares was, for purposes of the Agreement, based on the closing trading price of the Company on October 1, 2021 (the date on which a third-party fairness opinion was issued), resulting in an aggregate purchase price for Crowd Ignition of $5.3 million. The purchase price was used solely to establish the agreed upon purchase price between the parties and not for accounting purposes.

Crowd Ignition is a web-based crowdfunding software system. Ronny Yakov, Chairman and CEO of the Company and John Herzog, a significant shareholder of the Company, collectively owned 100% of the equity of Crowd Ignition. The acquisition of Crowd Ignition., was determined to be a common control transaction as each Company has the same two shareholders with a majority ownership. As a result, the assets and liabilities assumed were recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements at their respective carry-over basis; however, as of January 3, 2022, Crowd Ignition has no assets, liabilities or other operations.

The Board of Directors have adopted a 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the Company and the holders of majority of our outstanding shares of common stock have approved such plan. On December 22, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment and restate of the Plan to increase the number of our shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan from 24,000 to 200,000 shares. In general, awards under the Plan shall vest ratably over a period of three years (on the first, second and third anniversaries of the agreement) subject to accelerated vesting upon a change of control of our company (although awards may be granted with different vesting terms). Further, pursuant to the Yakov Agreement, on an annual basis until December 31, 2030, Mr. Yakov received up to 40,000 options under the Plan.

The purpose of our Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in our development and financial achievements. The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors or by the full Board, which may determine, among other things, the (a) terms and conditions of any option or stock purchase right granted, including the exercise price and the vesting schedule, (b) persons who are to receive options and stock purchase rights and (c) the number of shares to be subject to each option and stock purchase right. The Plan provides for the grant of (i) “incentive” options (qualified under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to employees of our company and (ii) non-qualified options to directors and consultants of our company.

Table of Contents

In connection with the administration of our Plan, our Compensation Committee:

• determines which employees and other persons will be granted awards under our Plan;

• grants the awards to those selected to participate;

• determines the exercise price for options; and

• prescribes any limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any awards, including the vesting conditions of awards.

Any grant of awards to any of directors under our Plan must be approved by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, our Compensation Committee will: (i) interpret our Plan; and (ii) make all other determinations and take all other action that may be necessary or advisable to implement and administer our Plan.

The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a change of control, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent to accelerate the vesting, exercise or payment of an award.

In addition, our Board of Directors may amend our Plan at any time. However, without stockholder approval, our Plan may not be amended in a manner that would:

• increase the number of shares that may be issued under our Plan;

• materially modify the requirements for eligibility for participation in our Plan;

• materially increase the benefits to participants provided by our Plan; or

• otherwise disqualify our Plan for coverage under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Awards previously granted under our Plan may not be impaired or affected by any amendment of our Plan, without the consent of the affected grantees.

PROPOSAL 3

THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL

We are providing our stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers in accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This advisory vote is often referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote and allows our stockholders to express their views on the overall compensation paid to our named executive officers. Our company values the views of its stockholders and is committed to the efficiency and effectiveness of our company’s executive compensation program.

The stockholders at their 2021 annual meeting of stockholders resolved that the frequency at which future advisory votes on executive compensation should be held would be every three years. The last advisory vote on executive compensation was held in 2021.

We are seeking stockholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with applicable SEC rules, which include the disclosures under “Executive Compensation,” the compensation tables (including all related footnotes) and any additional narrative discussion of compensation included herein. Stockholders are encouraged to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our company’s executive compensation policies and procedures.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder, and as a matter of good corporate governance, our board of directors is asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

Although this vote is advisory and non-binding on our board and our company, our board and the compensation committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our company’s executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation policies and decisions for named executive officers.

Required Vote

This advisory resolution, which we refer to as the say-on-pay proposal, will be considered approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.

Recommendation of the Board

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL.

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred and accrues for all probable and estimable settlements.

On November 24, 2021, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of November 15, 2021, with FFS Data Corporation (“FFS”) whereby we acquired a portfolio of merchants utilizing financial transaction processing services (the “Acquired Merchant Portfolio”). The purchase price was $20 million, with $16 million paid at closing, $2 million payable within six months after closing, and a $2 million payment to be transferred to an escrow account, contingent upon an Attrition Adjustment, as described in the Agreement. However, the Company is engaged ongoing litigation with FFS relating to allegations of, among other things, breaches of contract in connection with the Acquired Merchant Portfolio whereby FFS is claiming to be paid the full purchase price of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio and the Company is making a claim to recover the purchase price of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio based on misrepresentations made about the Acquired Merchant Portfolio and related fraud and other claims, which resulted in a termination of the bank processing agreement by Clear Fork Bank (the “Bank”) and eventual termination of all payment processing business with the merchants. In addition, in connection with the litigation with FFS, the Company

has also made a claim against the Bank for damages the Company suffered as a result of it having to cease processing transactions for the merchants underlying the Acquired Merchant Portfolio. The Bank has filed a counterclaim for fees incurred by it in connection with the transactions processed since the acquisition of the Acquired Merchant Portfolio by the Company. However, the damages claimed have been materially reduced over time due to account balancing which was not completed at the time of the counterclaim. The litigations are currently in discovery and dates for trial are not yet finalized.

Due to the ongoing litigation with FFS relating to a breach of contract in connection with the Acquired Merchant Portfolio, the Company has written off the asset and recognized a $12,642,857 loss on impairment for the year ended December 31, 2023. Without the write off, the 2023 net loss would have been $4,940,470, less than the previous year.
