Resolution Trust Corp.
Resolution Trust
Corp. (RTC) Finance Definition
The government agency that was responsible for
bailing out the U.S. savings and loan institutions that had become insolvent
during the 1980s. The Resolution Trust Corp. either merged failed savings and
loans with healthier competitors or closed them and paid off account holders.
The RTC replaced the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. (FSLIC), which
was shut down after the savings and loan crisis.
The RTCÂ’s charter ended in 1996 and its duties were given to the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), which is part of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
