PROXY STATEMENT

_______________

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

October 17, 2017

This proxy statement is being furnished to the holders of common stock, par value $.001, per share (the "common stock") of Vaso Corporation (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by and on behalf of its board of directors (the "Board") of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held on October 17, 2017 at the corporate office of NetWolves Network Services LLC, 4710 Eisenhower Boulevard, Suite E-8, Tampa, Florida 33634, at 10:00 A.M. EDT. This proxy statement contains information about the matters to be considered at the meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. This notice and proxy statement is first being mailed to stockholders on or about September 1, 2017.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is being considered at the meeting?

You will be voting on the following:

·	election of two Class III directors;

·	ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accountants; and

·	any other matters that properly come before the meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

You may vote if you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2017. Each share of stock is entitled to one vote.

How do I vote?

You can vote in four ways:

· by attending the meeting in person;

· by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card;

· by the internet at www.proxyvote.com, or;

· by phone at 1-800-690-6903.

Voting by Proxy

For stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names, as an alternative to voting in person at the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy via the Internet, by telephone or, for those stockholders who receive a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing a completed proxy card. For those stockholders who receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides information on how to access your proxy card, which contains instructions on how to vote via the Internet or by telephone. For those stockholders who receive a paper proxy card, instructions for voting via the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the proxy card; alternatively such stockholders who receive a paper proxy card may vote by mail by signing and returning the mailed proxy card in the prepaid and addressed envelope that is enclosed with the proxy materials. In each case, your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner you direct.

If your shares are registered in the name of a bank or brokerage firm (your record holder), you may also submit your voting instructions over the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions provided by your record holder in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you received printed copies of the proxy materials, you can submit voting instructions by telephone or mail by following the instructions provided by your record holder on the enclosed voting instructions card. Those who elect to vote by mail should complete and return the voting instructions card in the prepaid and addressed envelope provided.

Voting at the Meeting

If your shares are registered in your own name, you have the right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting by using the ballot provided at the Annual Meeting, or if you requested and received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you can complete, sign and date the proxy card enclosed with the proxy materials you received and submit it at the Annual Meeting. If you hold shares through a bank or brokerage firm and wish to be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a "legal proxy" from your brokerage firm, bank or other holder of record and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you submit your proxy or voting instructions in advance of the meeting as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. Submitting your proxy or voting instructions in advance of the meeting will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my mind after I vote?

Yes, you may change your mind at any time before the vote is taken at the meeting. You can do this by (1) signing another proxy with a later date and returning it to us prior to the meeting, (2) filing with our corporate secretary (Corporate Secretary, Vaso Corporation 137 Commercial Street, Suite 200, Plainview, New York 11803) a written notice revoking your proxy, or (3) voting again at the meeting.

What if I return my proxy card but do not include voting instructions?

Proxies that are signed and returned but do not include voting instructions will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for director described herein; and FOR the ratification of our appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accountants.

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

It means that you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (718) 921-8200.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy. Your shares may be voted under certain circumstances if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm. Under current rules of the New York Stock Exchange to which its members are subject, brokerage firms holding shares of common stock in "street name" may vote, in their discretion, on behalf of their clients if such clients have not furnished voting instructions with respect to ratification of the selection of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, but not with respect to the election of directors or any of the other proposals. Such voted shares are counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker cannot exercise discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?

Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by mail. Proxies submitted that contain abstentions or broker non-votes will be deemed present at our meeting. In order for us to conduct our meeting, a majority of the shares of our outstanding common stock as of the close of business on August 29, 2017, must be present at the meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. On August 29, 2017, there were 164,949,467 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as a single class.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the nominee for a slot with the most votes, or, if there are two or more nominees for a class, the two or more nominees, as the case may be, with the most votes for a particular class, will be elected to fill the available slot(s) for that class. Shares that are not voted, either because you marked your proxy card to withhold authority to vote for one or more nominees or because they are broker non-votes, will have no impact on the election of directors.

The ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the proposal (whether in person or by proxy) by holders entitled to vote on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present at the meeting. An abstention will be counted as a vote against that proposal and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast with respect to that matter, and consequently, will have no effect on the votes on that matter.

Our officers and directors directly or beneficially own 9.19% of our voting power and intend to vote FOR the election of the nominees for director described herein and FOR the ratification of our appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accountants.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of August 29, 2017 of (i) each person known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of the shares of outstanding common stock, based solely on filings with the SEC, (ii) each of our executive officers and directors, and (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are beneficially owned, and investment and voting power is held by the persons named as owners.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for a Board consisting of not less than three nor more than nine directors. Our Board now consists of seven directors. The Board has three classes of directors: Class I, whose term will expire in 2018 currently consisting of Mr. Markowitz and Mr. Rios; Class II, whose term will expire in 2019 currently consisting of Mr. Movaseghi, Mr. Castle and Mr. Hill; and Class III, whose term will expire in 2017 currently consisting of Dr. Ma and Mr. Lieberman. The directors each intend to serve on the Board until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board has nominated Dr. Ma and Mr. Lieberman for election as Class III directors to serve until the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Assuming a quorum is present, the nominee for a slot with the most votes, or, if there are two or more nominees for a class, the two or more nominees, as the case may be, with the most votes for a particular class, will be elected to fill the available slot(s) for that class. Consequently, any shares not voted at the meeting, whether by abstention or otherwise, will have no effect on the election of directors. Shares represented by executed proxies in the form enclosed will be voted, unless otherwise indicated, for the election as directors of the nominee(s) identified above unless any such nominee shall be unavailable, in which event such shares will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unavailable or, if elected, will decline to serve.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" ELECTION OF THE ABOVE NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS

Board Meetings and Attendance

Our Board held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2016. Each director attended or participated in at least 75% of such meetings of the Board.

Executive Committee

The primary purpose of the Executive Committee was to function when the Board of Directors was not in session. During the intervals between meetings of the Board, the Committee had the powers of the Board, except as limited by Delaware statute. The Executive Committee was terminated in August 2016.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Board has a standing Audit Committee. The Board has affirmatively determined that each director who serves on the Audit Committee is independent, as the term is defined by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Audit Committee consisted of Edgar Rios, committee chair since May 2015, and Behnam Movaseghi, who joined the committee in November 2011. The members of the Audit Committee have substantial experience in assessing the performance of companies, gained as members of the Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee, as well as by serving in various capacities in other companies or governmental agencies. As a result, they each have an understanding of financial statements. The Board believes that Behnam Movaseghi fulfills the role of the financial expert on this committee.

The Audit Committee regularly meets with our independent registered public accounting firm without the presence of management.

The Audit Committee operates under a charter approved by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee charter is available on our website.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee annually establishes, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and any applicable employment agreements, the compensation that will be paid to our executive officers during the coming year, as well as administers our stock-based benefit plans. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Compensation Committee consisted of Joshua Markowitz, committee chair, and Behnam Movaseghi. None of these persons have been officers or employees of the Company at the time of their position on the committee, or, except as otherwise disclosed, had any relationship requiring disclosure herein.

The Compensation Committee operates under a charter approved by the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee charter is available on our website.

The following information is provided about our current stock plans not approved by stockholders:

2010 Stock Option and Stock Issuance Plan

On June 17, 2010 the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Stock Plan (the "2010 Plan") for officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock issuable under the 2010 Plan shall be shares of the Company's authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the 2010 Plan is 5,000,000 shares.

The 2010 Plan is comprised of two separate equity programs, the Options Grant Program, under which eligible persons may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, and the Stock Issuance Program, under which eligible persons may be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered to the Company.

The 2010 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, will administer it with full authority to determine the identity of the recipients of the options or shares and the number of options or shares. Options granted under the 2010 Plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The option price shall be 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant (or in the case of incentive stock options granted to any individual stockholder possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all voting stock of the Company, 110% of such fair market value). The term of any option may be fixed by the Board of Directors, or its authorized committee, but in no event shall it exceed five years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable upon payment in full of the exercise price, either in cash or in common stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise of the option.

No shares or options were granted under the 2010 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2016 and no shares were withheld for withholding taxes.

2013 Stock Option and Stock Issuance Plan

On October 30, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Stock Plan (the "2013 Plan") for officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock issuable under the 2013 Plan shall be shares of the Company's authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the 2013 Plan is 7,500,000 shares.

The 2013 Plan is comprised of two separate equity programs, the Options Grant Program, under which eligible persons may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, and the Stock Issuance Program, under which eligible persons may be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered to the Company.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, 3,676,307 restricted shares of common stock were granted under the 2013 Plan to employees of the Company, vesting at various times through December 2020, 265,000 shares were forfeited, and 39,038 shares were withheld for withholding taxes.

No options were granted under the 2013 Plan during the year ended December 31, 2016.

2016 Stock Option and Stock Issuance Plan

On June 15, 2016, the Board of Directors ("Board") approved the 2016 Stock Plan (the "2016 Plan") for officers, directors, and senior employees of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation. The stock issuable under the 2016 Plan shall be shares of the Company's authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan is 7,500,000 shares.

The 2016 Plan consists of a Stock Issuance Program, under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Board, be issued shares of common stock directly, as a bonus for services rendered or to be rendered to the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation.

In July 2016, the Company granted 3.6 million shares of restricted common stock to directors, officers and key employees under the 2016 Stock Plan. One-third of the shares vested immediately and the remaining two-thirds vest equally one year and two years from grant date.

At August 10, 2011 there were 68,543,396 remaining authorized shares of common stock after reserves for all stock option plans.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Compensation Committee consisted of Joshua Markowitz, committee chair, and Behnam Movaseghi. Neither of these persons were officers or employees of the Company during the time they held positions on the committee, or, except as otherwise disclosed, had any relationship requiring disclosure herein.

In accordance with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information included under the captions "Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation", and "Audit Committee Report" will not be deemed to be filed or to be proxy soliciting material or incorporated by reference in any prior or future filings by us under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The compensation of our executive officers is generally determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board, subject to applicable employment agreements. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a director who is not our employee. The following report with respect to certain compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2016 is furnished by the directors who comprised the Compensation Committee during 2016.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Objectives

Our compensation programs are intended to enable us to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent required to achieve corporate objectives, and thereby increase stockholder value. It is our policy to provide incentives to senior management to achieve both short-term and long-term objectives and to reward exceptional performance and contributions to the development of our business. To attain these objectives, our executive compensation program generally includes a competitive base salary, bonuses and stock-based compensation. It is our belief that balancing cash and equity aligns executive compensation with shareholder interests. Compensation to our CEO for 2016 was pursuant to a prior contractual agreement, as amended. The contractual agreement entered into with our COO in 2016 was based upon the above considerations together with an analysis from an executive compensation advisor.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be provided to any person, without charge, upon request to (516) 997-4600 or to Investor Relations, Vaso Corporation 137 Commercial Street, Suite 200, Plainview, New York 11803. The Code is also available on our website www.vaso.com. Amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions, if any, will be posted on our website at www.vaso.com. We will disclose any waivers of provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our directors and principal executive, financial and accounting officers by disclosing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Section 162(m) of the Federal Income Tax Code

Generally, Section 162(m) denies deduction to any publicly held company for certain compensation exceeding $1,000,000 paid to the chief executive officer and the four other highest paid executive officers, excluding, among other things, certain performance-based compensation. The Compensation Committee and Board intend that the stock and stock options issued qualify for the performance-based exclusion under Section 162(m). The Compensation Committee will continually evaluate to what extent Section 162 will apply to its other compensation programs.

Respectfully submitted,

The Compensation Committee

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

This is a report of the Audit Committee of our Board. This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not otherwise be deemed to be filed under either such Act.

On December 31, 2016, our Audit Committee consisted of Edgar Rios (Chairman) and Behnam Movaseghi. The current members of the Audit Committee satisfy the applicable independence requirements. We intend to comply with future audit committee requirements as they become applicable to us. The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

As required by its written charter, which sets forth its responsibilities and duties, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 with our independent auditors. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with Marcum LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, their judgments as to the quality, and not just the acceptability, of the Company's accounting principles and such other matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication With Audit Committees," as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee has also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum LLP required by Independence Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees," as amended by the Independence Standards Board.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the financial statements referred to above be included in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed the fees paid to Marcum LLP during the year ended December 31, 2016 for audit and non-audit services, which are set forth below under "Audit Fees" and has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with maintaining Marcum LLP's independence and concluded that it is.

Respectfully submitted,

The Audit Committee

Edgar Rios (Chairman)

Behnam Movaseghi

Marcum, LLP is our independent registered public accounting firm and performed the audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The following table sets forth all fees for such periods:

	2016		2015
Audit fees	$	256,907	$	238,937
Tax fees		-		-
All other fees		-		211,117

Total	$	256,907	$	450,054

(1)

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax services, and other services performed by the Company's independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. In accordance with such policies, the Audit Committee approved 100% of the services relative to the above fees.

(2)	Marcum, LLP rendered other non-audit services related to the Company's acquisition of NetWolves LLC during the year ended December 31, 2015.

(3)

Audit fees consist of aggregate fees billed and to be billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the interim financial statements included in quarterly reports, and consents issued in connection with registration statements 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, 2016 and 2015.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities ("Reporting Persons") to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). These Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file with the SEC and the NASD. Based solely upon our review of the copies of the forms it has received, we believe that all Reporting Persons complied on a timely basis with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during the year ended December 31, 2016.

PROPOSAL TWO

PROPOSAL FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, recommends that the stockholders ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our Company's independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. We expect representatives of Marcum LLP to attend the annual meeting.

Our Audit Committee has determined that the provision of services by Marcum LLP other than for audit related services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Marcum LLP as our independent accountants. In accordance with the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee approves all audit and non-audit services provided by Marcum LLP, as our independent accountants.

The proposal will be adopted only if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast on the proposal by holders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MARCUM LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

A copy of our Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016 has been provided to all stockholders as of the Record Date. Stockholders are referred to the report for financial and other information about us, but such report is not incorporated in this proxy statement and is not a part of the proxy soliciting material.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board does not know of any business other than that specified above to come before the meeting, but, if any other business does lawfully come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy to vote in regard thereto in accordance with their judgment.

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form. In addition to solicitation by use of the mails, certain of our officers and regular employees may solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview. We may also request brokerage houses and other custodians and nominees and fiduciaries, to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons, and may make reimbursement for payments made for their expense in forwarding soliciting material to such beneficial owners.

"Householding" of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the annual report or proxy statement, as applicable, to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered. You can notify us by: sending a written request to Investor Relations, Vaso Corporation 137 Commercial Street, Suite 200, Plainview, New York 11803; calling us at (516) 997-4600; or emailing us at ir@vaso.com if (i) you wish to receive a separate copy of an annual report or proxy statement for this meeting; (ii) you would like to receive separate copies of those materials for future meetings; or (iii) you are sharing an address and you wish to request delivery of a single copy of annual reports or proxy statements if you are now receiving multiple copies of annual reports or proxy statements.

Stockholder Proposals for 2018 Annual Meeting

Proposals of stockholders intending to be presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 must be received at our principal office not later than February 1, 2018 to be included in the proxy statement for that meeting.

By Order of the Board of Directors,
