PROXY STATEMENT

____________________________

EXPLANATORY NOTE

All references in this proxy statement to numbers of common shares and per share information give retroactive effect to the one-for-five reverse split of our common shares effected as of August 26, 2004.

SOLICITING, VOTING AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

This proxy statement is being mailed to all stockholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2006 in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 22, 2006 at 10:00 a.m., local time, or any adjournment thereof. The proxy and this proxy statement were mailed to stockholders on or about August 29, 2006.

All shares represented by proxies duly executed and received will be voted on the matters presented at the meeting in accordance with the instructions specified in such proxies. Proxies so received without specified instructions will be voted FOR the nominees named in the proxy to our Board of Directors.

Our Board does not know of any other matters that may be brought before the meeting nor does it foresee or have reason to believe that proxy holders will have to vote for substitute or alternate nominees to the Board. In the event that any other matter should come before the meeting or any nominee is not available for election, the person named in the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies not marked to the contrary with respect to such matters in accordance with his best judgment.

The total number of common shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of August 17, 2006 was 2,896,024. The common shares are the only class of securities entitled to vote on matters presented to our stockholders, each share being entitled to one vote.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for cumulative voting of shares for the election of directors. This means that each stockholder has the right to cumulate his votes and give to one or more nominees as many votes as equals the number of directors to be elected (six) multiplied by the number of shares he is entitled to vote. A stockholder may therefore cast his votes for one nominee or distribute them among two or more of the nominees. A majority of the common shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of August 17, 2006, or 1,448,013 common shares, must be present at the meeting in person or by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 17, 2006 will be entitled to vote. With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or withheld. The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in favor. Accordingly, based upon there being six nominees, each person who receives one or more votes will be elected as a director. Votes withheld in connection with the election of one or more of the nominees for director will not be counted as votes cast for such individuals and may be voted for the other nominees.

Any person giving a proxy in the form accompanying this proxy statement has the power to revoke it at any time before its exercise. The proxy may be revoked by filing with us written notice of revocation or a fully executed proxy bearing a later date. The proxy may also be revoked by affirmatively electing to vote in person while in attendance at the meeting. However, a stockholder who attends the meeting need not revoke a proxy given and vote in person unless the stockholder wishes to do so. Written revocations or amended proxies should be sent to us at 1158 Broadway, Hewlett, New York 11557, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

The proxy is being solicited by our Board of Directors. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the charges and expenses of brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our shares. Solicitations will be made primarily by mail, but certain of our directors, officers or employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, telecopier or email without special compensation.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for ten days prior to the meeting, at our offices, 1158 Broadway, Hewlett, New York 11557, and also during the whole time of the meeting for inspection by any stockholder who is present. To contact us, stockholders should call (516) 374-7600.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Guaranty

In July 2003, Barry Goldstein, our President and Chief Executive Officer, guaranteed the repayment of $2,500,000 of an $18,000,000 line of credit from Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co. (“M&T”) utilized by our subsidiary, Payments Inc., to finance its premium finance business. Mr. Goldstein also executed a wind-down guaranty pursuant to which, among other things, he agreed with M&T that, in the event M&T had the right to foreclose upon the collateral securing the line, Mr. Goldstein would use his best efforts to assist M&T in the foreclosure process. Pursuant to the wind-down guaranty, Mr. Goldstein is also responsible for any loss suffered by M&T by reason of any breach or misrepresentation that involves, is connected with or arises out of any dishonest or fraudulent act or omission either committed by Mr. Goldstein or known but not timely reported by him to M&T. Effective April 30, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the financing agreement, Mr. Goldstein’s payment guaranty was reduced to $1,250,000. Effective July 28, 2006, in connection with a restructuring and extension of the line of credit, Mr. Goldstein’s payment guaranty terminated; however, the wind-down guaranty remains in effect. In consideration of the payment guaranty, and for so long as the payment guaranty remained in effect, we paid Mr. Goldstein $50,000 per annum and reimbursed him for all premiums paid by him on a $2,500,000 insurance policy on his life. In consideration of the wind-down guaranty, in July 2006, we paid Mr. Goldstein a fee of $50,000.

Subordinated Debt Financing

Effective July 10, 2003, in order to fund our premium finance operations, we obtained $3,500,000 from a private placement of subordinated debt. The subordinated debt was initially repayable on January 10, 2006 and provides for interest at the rate of 12.625% per annum, payable semi-annually. Subject to M&T’s consent, we have the right to prepay the subordinated debt. During 2005, we utilized our M&T line of credit to repay $2,000,000 of the subordinated debt.

In consideration of the debt financing, we issued to the lenders warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 105,000 of our common shares at an exercise price of $6.25 per share. The warrants were initially scheduled to expire on January 10, 2006. Effective May 25, 2005, the holders of the remaining $1,500,000 of subordinated debt agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt to September 30, 2007. The debt extension was given to satisfy a requirement of M&T that arose in connection with the December 2004 increase in M&T’s revolving line of credit to $25,000,000 and the extension of the line to June 30, 2007. In consideration for the extension of the due date for the subordinated debt, we extended the expiration date of warrants held by the debtholders for the purchase of 97,500 common shares to September 30, 2007.

One of the private placement lenders was a retirement trust established for the benefit of Jack Seibald which loaned us $625,000 and was issued a warrant for the purchase of 18,750 of our common shares. Mr. Seibald is one of our principal stockholders and, effective September 2004, became one of our directors. Mr. Seibald’s retirement trust currently holds approximately $288,000 of the subordinated debt and he indirectly owns or controls 48,750 warrants, including those issued at the time of the loan.

Commercial Mutual Insurance Company

On January 31, 2006, we purchased from Eagle Insurance Company two surplus notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000 issued by Commercial Mutual Insurance Company. The aggregate purchase price for the surplus notes was $3,075,141, of which $1,303,434 was paid to Eagle by delivery of a six month promissory note. The promissory note was paid in full in July 2006. Commercial Mutual is a New York property and casualty insurer. Eagle is a New Jersey property and casualty insurer under the administrative supervision of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and owns approximately 10% of our outstanding common stock.

Robert Wallach, one of our directors, is Vice President of Eagle and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Eagle’s parent, The Robert Plan Corporation. Additionally, until our purchase of the surplus notes, Mr. Wallach and a number of other Eagle employees were directors of Commercial Mutual. Further, concurrently with the purchase, and following the resignations of Mr. Wallach and four other directors of Commercial Mutual, Jack Seibald, one of our directors, and four other persons (including one of our employees) were elected by the remaining Commercial Mutual directors to the eleven person Board of Directors of Commercial Mutual. In addition, the new Commercial Mutual Board of Directors elected Barry Goldstein, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as its Chairman. Mr. Goldstein had been elected as a director of Commercial Mutual in December 2005.

Relationship

Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman, LLP, a law firm with which Mr. Certilman is affiliated, serves as our counsel. It is presently anticipated that such firm will continue to represent us and will receive fees for its services at rates and in amounts not greater than would be paid to unrelated law firms performing similar services.

On the basis of these reviews and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in DCAP=s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Meetings

Our Board of Directors held eight meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors held seven meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

The Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors held one meeting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors held four meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Mr. Haft was the only director to attend fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served during 2005.

We do not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at our annual meeting of stockholders. However, all directors are encouraged to attend. Four of the six Board members were in attendance at last year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Communications with Board of Directors

Any security holder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors or a particular director should send the correspondence to the Board of Directors, DCAP Group, Inc., 1158 Broadway, Hewlett, New York 11557, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Any such communication so addressed will be forwarded by the Corporate Secretary to the members or a particular member of the Board.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that reports of beneficial ownership of common shares and changes in such ownership be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Section 16 “reporting persons,” including directors, certain officers, holders of more than 10% of the outstanding common shares and certain trusts of which reporting persons are trustees. We are required to disclose in this proxy statement each reporting person whom we know to have failed to file any required reports under Section 16 on a timely basis during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of Forms 3 and 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our officers, directors and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them, except that John J. Willis, Jr., formerly our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, filed a Form 4 late (reporting one transaction) and AIA Acquisition Corp., a 10% stockholder, filed a Form 4 late (reporting one transaction).

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Holtz Rubenstein Reminick, LLP has served as our auditors since 1990 and was selected as our independent public accountants with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. We have not yet selected our auditors for the current fiscal year. Our Audit Committee will review Holtz Rubenstein Reminick’s proposal with respect to the audit prior to making a determination regarding the engagement.

It is not expected that a representative of Holtz Rubenstein Reminick will attend the meeting.

The following is a summary of the fees billed to us by Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP, our independent auditors, for professional services rendered for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

Fee Category	Fiscal 2005 Fees	Fiscal 2004 Fees
Audit Fees(1)	$90,200	$73,000
Audit-Related Fees(2)	-	-
Tax Fees	-	-
All Other Fees(3)	13,335	12,250
Total Fees	$103,535	$85,250

(1)	Audit Fees consist of aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the interim financial statements included in quarterly reports or services that are normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

(2)	Audit-Related Fees consist of aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

(3)	All Other Fees consist of aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP, other than those disclosed above. These fees related to the audits of our wholly-owned subsidiary, DCAP Management Corp., and general accounting consulting services.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and approves in advance any services to be performed by the independent auditors, whether audit-related or not. The Audit Committee reviews each proposed engagement to determine whether the provision of services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditors. All of the fees shown above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

To be timely, the notice must be received at our principal executive offices (as provided below) not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting; however, if less than 70 days= notice of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders and public disclosure of the meeting date, pursuant to a press release, is either not made at all or is made less than 70 days prior to the meeting date, notice by a stockholder to be timely made must be so received no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the following:
