Settlement Funds

Settlement funds are large, sticky deposits that sit on the books for years, and require a back office most treasury departments can't staff. Hudson automates the transaction lifecycle, disbursements, compliance, and reporting.

Land the deal. Skip the back office.

Debt restructuring agencies and court-appointed supervisors process payments and claims for thousands of clients. They need the right financial institution to custody the funds, with an intelligent back office to help administer the programs.
