OCMBC Retires Jet Advantage, Launches GIANT Lending

OCMBC Giant Lending

The change signifies the Irvine-based lender's support of the mortgage broker channel

OCMBC, Inc. is retiring its DBA, Jet Advantage Mortgage, and rolling out a rebranded division, GIANT Lending, positioning the Irvine-based lender squarely behind the mortgage-broker channel.

With the new identity, the company says it will lean on “industry-leading products, streamlined processes, and competitive pricing” to equip brokers “with the strength, resources, and support they need to thrive in any market.”

“With this launch, we’re sending a clear message to the broker community: we are here to stand tall with you,” said Michael Turturro, president and founder of GIANT Lending. “Our name now matches the scale of our commitment—to deliver the tools, products, and guidance brokers need to grow and succeed.”

Rabi Aziz, CEO of OCMBC, framed the move as an investment in the next cycle. “The launch of GIANT Lending represents a bold new chapter in our growth and our vision for the future. We’re investing in innovation, service, and long-term partnerships to ensure brokers have a GIANT advantage in every market cycle. When brokers succeed, we all succeed.”

OCMBC says GIANT Lending is “backed by a proven track record of strong loan volume, diverse product offerings, and resilience in shifting economic climates,” and will focus on helping mortgage professionals “close more business with confidence” — promising tailored programs, fast service, and what it describes as unmatched support.

The change comes a year after Home Mortgage Alliance Corporation (HMAC) filed suit against a former high-ranking employee and OCMBC for allegedly stealing the "Jet Mortgage" brand. (OCMBC also does business as Loanstream Mortgage and Forward Lending in the wholesale channel.)
