Affiliated Business Arrangement (AfBA)
An Affiliated Business Arrangement occurs when a mortgage company, real estate brokerage, or other settlement service provider has an ownership interest in another related company, such as a title company.
AfBAs are legal if properly disclosed under RESPA. Borrowers must be informed of the relationship and cannot be required to use the affiliated provider.
