Exhibit 99.1

Reliance Global Group Provides Year-End Update on RELI Exchange

Reports more than 60% increase in total RELI Exchange policies following

onboarding of Fortman Insurance under new “One-Firm” approach

Adds two new insurance carriers, resulting in 35 carriers now within the network

365 agents now on the RELI Exchange platform

RELI Exchange positioned for further growth heading into 2024

LAKEWOOD, N.J., December 19, 2023 — Reliance Global Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RELI; RELIW) (“Reliance”, “we” or the “Company”), today provided an update on its business-to-business InsurTech platform, RELI Exchange.

Ezra Beyman, CEO of Reliance, stated, “Since the launch of RELI Exchange last year, the platform has rapidly become one of the premier agency partner networks in the country. At the same time, we continue to enhance the platform to provide an even more compelling value proposition for both existing agency partners and potential agency partners. Notably, we have witnessed a more than 60% increase in total RELI Exchange policies following the onboarding of Fortman Insurance under our new and fully integrated “One-Firm” approach. Additionally, RELI Exchange continues to add new commercial insurance carriers to its already robust lineup, allowing our agency partners to expand their business further by providing competitive insurance quotes across a variety of insurance products. With the recent addition of two new carriers, we now offer coverage from more than 35 insurance carriers nationwide. Through our AI and machine learning algorithms, agents can provide quotes from a wide array of carriers across the nation in just a few minutes, ensuring that their clients are getting a diverse and competitive selection to choose from. All of this has served to accelerate the growth of the platform as evidenced by the fact we now have more than 365 agencies in our exclusive Agency Partner network. Moreover, our agency partners have competitive offerings in all 46 states in which we operate. With the U.S. insurance market’s vast potential, valued at approximately $2.7 trillion in 2021 and anticipated to grow by 26% to $3.4 trillion by 2027, we believe that the success of the RELI Exchange platform positions the Company to continue its growth and gain market share heading into 2024.”
