Under RESPA, affiliated business arrangements (ABAs) occur when a settlement service provider (real estate broker, lender, title company) has an ownership interest in or receives compensation from another settlement service provider to whom they refer business. ABAs must be disclosed in writing to consumers, and referrals to ABAs must be voluntary — the consumer cannot be required to use the affiliated business.
