The company also purchases lotteries, mortgage notes, and other long-term obligations within the United States. RSL Funding operates as a subsidiary of Rapid Settlements, Ltd.

History
RSL Funding was founded in 2003, after the codification of Internal Revenue Code 5891. The company’s president is Stewart A. Feldman, an Attorney, CPA, and expert in tax and financial law.

Unlike most structured settlement companies in the United States, RSL Funding is not a broker. RSL Funding uses on-hand capital to buy annuities.

News
In 2011 RSL Funding was sued by competitor Imperial Settlements claiming it had a selling structured settlement annuitant under contract, and citing RSL Funding for "tortious interference with an existing contract. ". RSL Funding is a direct competitor of Imperial's in the marketplace for the purchase of future payments.

The Texas court upheld the recipient's right to seek competitive offers until an enforceable contract was in place. The ruling held that no structured settlement company can bind a customer to an agreement until an application for transfer of structured settlement payment rights has been approved and an order of transfer has been entered by the courts. Up until these prerequisites are met, customers are welcome to look for offers that can best serve their needs.
