                   COMMERCIAL CAPITAL BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES
                      REALIGNMENT OF ITS LENDING OPERATIONS

                        - Anticipates Increased Growth -

IRVINE, CA - April 3, 2003- Commercial Capital Bancorp, Inc. ("CCBI" or the
"Company"), (NASDAQ: "CCBI"), announced today that, effective April 1, 2003, it
has realigned its lending operations by moving the origination, underwriting and
processing functions, as well as the related personnel, from Financial
Institutional Partners Mortgage Corporation ("FIPMC"), the Company's
multi-family and commercial mortgage banking subsidiary, to Commercial Capital
Bank (the "Bank"), the Company's bank subsidiary.

The realignment, which results in the Bank becoming the originator of most of
the Company's loans, will immediately enable the Bank to hold a significantly
increased percentage of the Company's loan originations, while further
streamlining the lending process. Prior to the realignment, FIPMC was the
originator of all of the Company's multi-family and commercial real estate loans
and, because of affiliate transaction rules governing purchases of loans from
non-bank affiliates, the Bank was limited to purchasing less than 50% of FIPMC's
loan originations. The original structure also required redundant processes and
operations that are now eliminated. FIPMC will continue to actively maintain and
utilize its independent, third-party provided, warehouse line of credit to fund
and sell those loans which the Bank elects to assign to FIPMC for reasons which
may include the Bank's loans to one borrower limits, capital constraints,
geographic concentrations or for other reasons as determined by management.

Stephen H. Gordon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We're very
excited that the Company has matured to a point where we can implement such a
significant strategy. The way the lending process was structured, we always had
to sell over 50% of FIPMC's loan originations, which resulted in noninterest
income comprised of `one-time' cash gains plus other mortgage banking income.
Our business strategy has generated growth in recurring interest income as the
Bank grew its loan portfolio by purchasing loans from FIPMC, as well as
near-term earnings from noninterest income generated on loans originated and
sold by FIPMC to third parties. But every time FIPMC sells a loan, the buyer
gets the valuable, ongoing interest income from that point forward." Mr. Gordon
added, "The Company will still generate noninterest income on those loans
assigned to FIPMC and sold, but we anticipate that net interest income should
significantly increase, as this operational realignment enables the Company to
retain a greater percentage of its loan originations in its portfolio."

David S. DePillo, Vice Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer,
commented, "We're very pleased with the overall quality and performance of the
loans we originate. The Company originates high quality loans that have resulted
in no delinquent or non-performing multi-family or commercial real estate
assets to date. We look forward to the Company's anticipated growth and greater
operational efficiency, which we believe will continue to enhance shareholder
value."
