             COMMERCIAL CAPITAL BANCORP, INC. ISSUES $7.5 MILLION OF
                TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES AND GIVES GUIDANCE ON
                         CERTAIN PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

IRVINE, CA - September 26, 2003 - Commercial Capital Bancorp, Inc. ("CCBI" or
the "Company"), announced today the issuance of $7.5 million of trust preferred
securities through a newly created subsidiary, CCB Capital Trust IV, a Delaware
special-purpose business trust. The Company received cash proceeds, net of fees
and other expenses, of $7,275,000 and contributed all of the net proceeds to the
Company's bank subsidiary, Commercial Capital Bank (the "Bank"). The interest
rate on these capital securities, which mature in 30 years and are callable
beginning in 5 years, adjusts quarterly at a margin of 2.90% over the
three-month LIBOR index, and is set for the initial accrual period at a pretax
interest cost of 4.04%.

Stephen H. Gordon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "The Company is
experiencing record levels of total loan originations, resulting in a record
increase in loans held for investment. Much of this recent increase has been
facilitated through the earlier indicated transition of front loaded, lower
yielding mortgage-backed securities into the Company's high quality, adjustable
rate, multi-family loans. With the continued significant growth of the Company's
loan origination pipeline as we approach the end of this quarter, we view this
issuance of trust preferred securities as a strategic opportunity to provide
low-cost, non-dilutive equity, to further support the future growth of the
Bank."
