EXHIBIT 31.2

I, Randy Rutledge, certify that:

     1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Rush Financial
          Technologies, Inc.;
     2.   Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  report  does not contain any
          untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements  made, in light of the  circumstances
          under which such  statements were made, not misleading with respect to
          the period covered by this quarterly report;
     3.   Based on my knowledge,  the financial statements,  and other financial
          information  included in this quarterly report,  fairly present in all
          material respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
          cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in
          this quarterly report;
     4.   The registrant's  other certifying  officers and I are responsible for
          establishing  and maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
          defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and  15d-15(e))  and internal
          control  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
          13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have;

               a.   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,  or caused
                    such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
                    our  supervision,   to  ensure  that  material   information
                    relating  to  the  registrant,  including  its  consolidated
                    subsidiaries,  is made  known to us by others  within  those
                    entities,  particularly  during  the  period  in which  this
                    report is being prepared;
               b.   Designed such internal control over financial reporting,  or
                    caused such internal control over financial  reporting to be
                    designed  under  our  supervision,   to  provide  reasonable
                    assurance  regarding the reliability of financial  reporting
                    and the  preparation  of financial  statements  for external
                    purposes in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
                    principles;
               c.   Evaluated the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure
                    controls  and  procedures  and  presented in this report our
                    conclusions  about the  effectiveness  of the  controls  and
                    procedures,  as of the  end of the  period  covered  by this
                    report based on such evaluation; and
               d.   Disclosed  in this  report  any  change in the  registrant's
                    internal  control over  financial  reporting  that  occurred
                    during the  registrant's  most recent  fiscal  quarter  (the
                    registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
                    report)  that  has  materially  affected,  or is  reasonable
                    likely  to  materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
                    control over financial reporting; and
     6.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based
          on our most recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
          reporting,  to the  registrant's  auditors and the audit  committee of
          registrant's  board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
          function):
               a.   All significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                    design or  operation  of  internal  control  over  financial
                    reporting  are  reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the
                    registrant's  ability  to  record,  process,  summarize  and
                    report financial information; and
               b.   Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
                    or  other  employees  who  have a  significant  role  in the
                    registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
