EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement registers shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of (i) 420,000 shares of common stock that will be issued upon the vesting of restricted stock awards granted under the Paysign, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), and (ii) 160,000 shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to awards that may be granted under the Plan.

This Registration Statement contains two parts. The first part contains a "reoffer prospectus" prepared in accordance with Part I of Form S-3 (in accordance with Instruction C of the General Instructions to Form S-8). The reoffer prospectus permits reoffers and resales on a continuous or delayed basis of those shares referred to above that constitute "restricted securities" or "control securities," within the meaning of Form S-8, by certain of our stockholders, as more fully set forth therein. The second part contains information required to be set forth in the Registration Statement pursuant to Part II of Form S-8.

REOFFER PROSPECTUS

PAYSIGN, INC.

420,000 Shares of Common Stock

This Reoffer Prospectus (this "Prospectus") relates to an aggregate of up to 420,000 shares (the "Shares") of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), which may be offered and sold from time to time by certain of our stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") who have acquired or will acquire such Shares pursuant to the vesting of restricted stock awards issued under the Paysign, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). See "Selling Stockholders." This Prospectus covers the offering for resale of (i) shares acquired by the Selling Stockholders prior to the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 ("Restricted Shares") and (ii) shares to be acquired by Selling Stockholders who may be deemed affiliates of our company after the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 pursuant to restricted stock awards currently held by those Selling Stockholders ("Control Shares"). Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "PAYS." On October 29, 2024, the last reported sales price of the our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market was $3.71 per share.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of the Shares by any of the Selling Stockholders. The Shares may be offered from time to time by any or all of the Selling Stockholders (and their donees and pledgees) through ordinary brokerage transactions, in negotiated transactions or in other transactions, at such prices as the Selling Stockholder may determine, which may relate to market prices prevailing at the time of sale or be a negotiated price. See "Plan of Distribution." We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Shares. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the offer or sale of the Shares will be borne by the Selling Stockholder (or their donees and pledgees).

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined under the federal securities laws and are subject to reduced reporting requirements.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any securities, you should carefully read the discussion of the risks of investing in our securities in "Risk Factors" beginning on page 2 of this Prospectus.

Each Selling Stockholder and any broker executing selling orders on behalf of a Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be an "underwriter" as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). If any broker-dealers are used to effect sales, any commissions paid to broker-dealers and, if broker-dealers purchase any of the Shares as principals, any profits received by such broker-dealers on the resale of the Shares, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In addition, any profits realized by the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The date of this Prospectus is October 30, 2024.

THE COMPANY

We are a vertically integrated provider of prepaid card products and processing services for corporate, consumer and government applications. Our payment solutions are utilized by our corporate customers as a means to increase customer loyalty, increase patient adherence rates, reduce administration costs and streamline operations. Public sector organizations can utilize our payment solutions to disburse public benefits or for internal payments. We market our prepaid card solutions under our Paysign® brand. As we are a payment processor and prepaid card program manager, we derive our revenue from all stages of the prepaid card lifecycle.

We operate on a powerful, high-availability payments platform with cutting-edge fintech capabilities that can be seamlessly integrated with our clients' systems. This distinctive positioning allows us to provide end-to-end technologies that securely manage transaction processing, cardholder enrollment, value loading, account management, data and analytics, and customer service. Our architecture is known for its cross-platform compatibility, flexibility, and scalability - allowing our clients and partners to leverage these advantages for cost savings and revenue opportunities.

Our suite of product offerings includes solutions for corporate rewards, prepaid gift cards, general purpose reloadable debit cards, employee incentives, consumer rebates, donor compensation, clinical trials, healthcare reimbursement payments and pharmaceutical payment assistance, and demand deposit accounts accessible with a debit card. In the future, we expect to further expand our product into other prepaid card offerings such as travel cards and expense reimbursement cards. Our cards are sponsored by our issuing bank partners.

Our revenues include fees generated from cardholder fees, interchange, card program management fees, transaction claims processing fees, breakage and settlement income. Revenue from cardholder fees, interchange, card program management fees and transaction claims processing fees is recorded when the performance obligation is fulfilled. Breakage is recorded ratably over the estimated card life based on historical redemption patterns, market-specific trends, escheatment rules and existing economic conditions and relates solely to our open-loop gift card business, which began at the end of 2022. Settlement income is recorded at the expiration of the card program and relates solely to our pharma prepaid business which ended in 2022.

We were incorporated in Nevada on August 24, 1995. Our principle executive offices are located at 2615 St. Rose Parkway, Henderson, Nevada 89052, and our telephone number is (702) 453-2221. Our website address is www.paysign.com.

We qualify as an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and are subject to reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the risks set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 27, 2024, which are incorporated by reference herein, and subsequent reports filed with the Commission, together with the financial and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be harmed. In that event, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Prospectus may be considered forward-looking under federal securities laws, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor created thereby.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. All proceeds from the sale of the Shares will be for the account of the Selling Stockholders, as described below. See the sections titled "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This Prospectus relates to Shares that are being registered for reoffers and resales by Selling Stockholders who have acquired or will acquire such Shares pursuant to the vesting of restricted stock awards issued under the Plan.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Commission, is based upon 53,968,374 shares outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus (including the 420,000 Shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock awards being registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part), and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Options to purchase shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Prospectus are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Shares of restricted stock, whether vested or unvested, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such restricted stock for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person and are treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of each other person.

The inclusion in the table of the individuals named therein shall not be deemed to be an admission that any such individuals are "affiliates" of our company.

Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each Selling Stockholder listed below is c/o Paysign, Inc., 2615 St. Rose Parkway, Henderson, Nevada 89052. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the Selling Stockholders listed below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all such shares that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

(3)	Includes the following four named non-affiliate employees, each of whom holds at least 1,000 Shares: Rodney A. Brooks, Cosimo Cambi, Ramandeep Singh, and Hariharan Venkatachalam. Each of these persons beneficially owns less than 1% of our Common Stock.
(4)	Consists of (i) 13,476 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 434,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock awards, including the 420,000 Shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock awards being registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The purpose of this Prospectus is to permit the Selling Stockholders, if they desire, to offer for sale and sell the Shares they acquired or will acquire pursuant to the vesting of restricted stock awards issued under the Plan at such times and at such places as the Selling Stockholders choose.

The decision to sell any Shares is within the discretion of the holders thereof, subject generally to our policies affecting the timing and manner of sale of Common Stock by certain individuals. There can be no assurance that any Shares will be sold by the Selling Stockholders.

Sales of Shares by the Selling Stockholders may be effected from time to time in one or more types of transactions (which may include block transactions) on The Nasdaq Stock Market, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Shares, through settlement of short sales of Shares, or a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their Shares, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling Shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of Shares might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by such broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of the Shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Because the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of The Nasdaq Stock Market pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act.

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the Shares will be subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular Shares being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares.

The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such Rule.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Shares being offered hereby has been passed upon by Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Phoenix, Arizona.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

We are a Nevada corporation. Section 78.7502 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a manager of a limited-liability company, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS Section 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Under NRS Section 78.138, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation unless such person breached their fiduciary duty and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. If the action or suit is by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Under Article V.B of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, we are required to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, its officers and directors. Furthermore, Article V.C of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, we are required to pay (or through insurance purchased and maintained by us or through other financial arrangements) any expenses of an officer or director as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Under Article VII of our Amended and Restated Bylaws, we are required to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer or member, manager, or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company, or is or was serving in any capacity at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager, or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise or affiliate. Indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action. Furthermore, we are required to advance expenses to an indemnitee in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding.

The indemnification provided by our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws is not exclusive of any rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the Nevada law, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws or any of our indemnification agreements with our directors and officers, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

We maintain a Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance Policy designed to reimburse us for any covered payments made by us pursuant to the foregoing indemnification.

Item 9. Undertakings.

A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

B.The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

C.Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
