Summary of Transaction

This transaction is the fifth securitization for American Business Financial
Services, Inc. ("ABFS" or the "Company") and its second public securitization.
It is also the first securitization since ABFS listed on NASDAQ in February.
The Company originates loans through two subsidiaries, Upland Mortgage
("Upland") and American Business Credit ("ABC"), both located in Bala Cynwyd, 
PA. Upland originates consumer purpose home equity loans and ABC originates 
business purpose home equity loans. Upland and ABC generally service the loans
retained in their respective portfolios and will service the loans to be 
included in the securitization.

Three tranches of Class A Certificates will be offered. It is expected that the
Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-3
Certificates will have average lives of approximately [1.05 years], [3.04 
years] and [6.71 years] (to call), respectively, based on a pricing speed of 
[23% HEP]. Interest will be paid on the 15th day of each month on a 30/360 
basis. The transaction will feature a 10% cleanup call by the Servicer with a 
coupon stepup of 75 basis points should the cleanup call not be exercised.

This transaction features credit enhancement in the form of a 100% guaranty of
timely payment of interest and eventual payment of principal from Financial
Security Assurance, Inc. ("FSA"). The transaction will be rated AAA/Aaa by S&P
and Moody's based on the guaranty from FSA. Beginning with an initial
overcollateralization ("O/C") level of [3%], excess spread from the transaction
will be used to pay down the Class A Certificates to an O/C target of [TBD%].
In addition, excess spread of approximately [] basis points will be available 
each month for credit enhancement.

                    American Business Financial Services 1997-1



Overcollateralization:  The credit enhancement provisions of the Trust are
                        intended to provide for the limited acceleration of the
                        Certificates relative to the amortization of the
                        related collateral, generally in the early months of
                        the transaction.  Accelerated amortization is achieved
                        by applying certain excess interest collected on the
                        collateral to the payment of principal on the
                        Certificates, resulting in the build up of
                        overcollateralization ("O/C").  By paying down the 
                        principal balance of the Certificates faster than the
                        principal amortization of the respective collateral
                        pool, an overcollateralization amount equal to the 
                        excess of the aggregate principal balance of the 
                        Collateral Pool over the principal balance of the
                        related Certificates is created.  Excess cashflow will
                        be directed to build the O/C amount until the pool
                        reaches its required O/C target.  Upon this event, the
                        acceleration feature will cease, unless it is once 
                        again necessary to maintain the required O/C level.

Overcollateralization
Levels (Approx.):       Initial O/C based               O/C Target based on
                        on original collateral          original collateral
                         balance:[TBD%]                 balance:[TBD]

                        These O/C percentages are subject to step-downs
                        beginning in month [30] if certain tests are met.

Pre-funding Account:    On the Settlement Date, an aggregate cash amount ("the
                        Pre-funded Amount"), which will equal approximately 
                        [$25,000,000] will be deposited in a Pre-funding
                        Account.  During the period ("the Funding Period") 
                        from the Settlement Date until the earlier of: (i) the
                        date on which the amount in the Pre-funding Account is
                        less than $100,000, (ii) the date on which any Servicer
                        default occurs, or (iii) 90 days from the Settlement
                        Date, the Pre-funding Amount will remain in the 
                        Pre-funding Account.  The Pre-funding Account will be 
                        reduced during the Funding Period by amounts used to
                        purchase subsequent mortgages in accordance with
                        the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any Pre-funded 
                        Amount remaining at the end of the Funding Period (net
                        of reinvestment income payable to the Class R 
                        Certificateholders) will be distributed to the Class A
                        Certificateholders on the July 1997 Distribution Date
                        as a partial prepayment of principal of such
                        Certificates.

Clean-up Call:          The Servicer has the right to purchase the mortgage
                        loans from the Trust when the outstanding aggregate
                        principal balance of the mortgage loans has declined to
                        10% or less of the initial aggregate principal balance
                        of the mortgage loans plus the initial amount in the
                        Pre-funding Account. The option to purchase the 
                        mortgage loans is at par plus 30 days' accrued interest.
                        If the Servicer does not exercise the Clean-up Call,
                        the coupon on any outstanding Class A Certificates
                        increases by 75 basis points.

ERISA

                   American Business Financial Services 1997-1


Summary of Transaction

This transaction is the fifth securitization for American Business Financial
Services, Inc. ("ABFS" or the "Company") and its second public securitization.
It is also the first securitization since ABFS listed on NASDAQ in February.
The Company originates loans through two subsidiaries, Upland Mortgage 
("Upland") and American Business Credit ("ABC"), both located in Bala Cynwyd,
PA. Upland originates consumer purpose home equity loans and ABC originates 
business purpose home equity loans. Upland and ABC generally service the loans
retained in their respective portfolios and will service the loans to be 
included in the securitization.

Three tranches of Class A Certificates will be offered. It is expected that the
Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-3
Certificates will have average lives of approximately [1.05 years], [3.05 
years] and [6.67 years] (to call), respectively, based on a pricing speed of
[23% HEP]. Interest will be paid on the 15th day of each month on a 30/360
basis. The transaction will feature a 10% cleanup call by the Servicer with a
coupon stepup of 75 basis points should the cleanup call not be exercised.

This transaction features credit enhancement in the form of a 100% guaranty of
timely payment of interest and eventual payment of principal from Financial
Security Assurance, Inc. ("FSA"). The transaction will be rated AAA/Aaa by S&P
and Moody's based on the guaranty from FSA. Beginning with an initial
overcollateralization ("O/C") level of [3%], excess spread from the transaction
will be used to pay down the Class A Certificates to an O/C target of [TBD%].
In addition, excess spread of approximately [] basis points will be available
each month for credit enhancement.

Overcollateralization:  The credit enhancement provisions of the Trust are
                        intended to provide for the limited acceleration of the
                        Certificates relative to the amortization of the
                        related collateral, generally in the early months of
                        the transaction.  Accelerated amortization is achieved
                        by applying certain excess interest collected on the
                        collateral to the payment of principal on the
                        Certificates, resulting in the build up of
                        overcollateralization ("O/C").  By paying down the
                        principal balance of the Certificates faster than the
                        principal amortization of the respective collateral
                        pool, an overcollateralization amount equal to the 
                        excess of the aggregate principal balance of the
                        Collateral Pool over the principal balance of the
                        related Certificates is created.  Excess cashflow will
                        be directed to build the O/C amount until the pool
                        reaches its required O/C target.  Upon this event, the
                        acceleration feature will cease, unless it is once
                        again necessary to maintain the required O/C level.

Overcollateralization
Levels (Approx.):       Initial O/C based on         O/C Target based on
                        original collateral          original collateral
                        balance:[TBD%]               balance:[TBD]

                        These O/C percentages are subject to step-downs
                        beginning in month [30] if certain tests are met.

Pre-funding Account:    On the Settlement Date, an aggregate cash amount ("the
                        Pre-funded Amount"), which will equal approximately
                        [$25,000,000] will be deposited in a Pre-funding
                        Account.  During the period ("the Funding Period") 
                        from the Settlement Date until the earlier of: (i) the
                        date on which the amount in the Pre-funding Account is
                        less than $100,000, (ii) the date on which any Servicer
                        default occurs, or (iii) 90 days from the Settlement
                        Date, the Pre-funding Amount will remain in the 
                        Pre-funding Account.  The Pre-funding Account will be
                        reduced during the Funding Period by amounts used to
                        purchase subsequent mortgages in accordance with
                        the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any Pre-funded 
                        Amount remaining at the end of the Funding Period (net
                        of reinvestment income payable to the Class R 
                        Certificateholders) will be distributed to the Class A
                        Certificateholders on the July 1997 Distribution Date
                        as a partial prepayment of principal of such
                        Certificates.

Clean-up Call:          The Servicer has the right to purchase the mortgage
                        loans from the Trust when the outstanding aggregate
                        principal balance of the mortgage loans has declined to
                        10% or less of the initial aggregate principal balance
                        of the mortgage loans plus the initial amount in the
                        Pre-funding Account. The option to purchase the
                        mortgage loans is at par plus 30 days' accrued interest.
                        If the Servicer does not exercise the Clean-up Call,
                        the coupon on any outstanding Class A Certificates 
                        increases by 75 basis points.

ERISA
Considerations:         The Certificates will be not be ERISA eligible until
                        the completion of the Funding Period. Investors should
                        consult with their counsel with respect to the
                        consequences under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code
                        of the Plan's acquisition and ownership of such
                        certificates.

Taxation:               REMIC.
