In 2010, more than 1,000 ABA member banks elected to be a part of one or more of the 12 programs available through Mortgage Solutions.

Mortgage Solutions negotiates member advantaged pricing and other benefits with its 12 residential mortgage partners. The programs are free for ABA members. The banks that actively participated in the programs in 2010 saved on average over $50,000 per bank.
