Founded in 1969, the Ohio Mortgage Bankers Association (OMBA) is the statewide voice of Ohio’s real estate finance industry.

Our members — from community lenders to national firms — are united by a shared commitment to leadership, advocacy, and strengthening the future of mortgage banking in Ohio.

As a member-led organization, we champion your interests at the Statehouse, with regulators, and in the courts. We also collaborate closely with local chapters and the national MBA to ensure Ohio’s mortgage professionals have a strong, coordinated voice where it matters most.

Beyond advocacy, OMBA is your hub for education, networking, and professional development. Each year, we deliver a full calendar of high-quality virtual and in-person programs — from thought leadership webinars and compliance trainings, to our Future Leaders Program, statewide convention, and affordable housing initiatives. Members also gain access to exclusive networking opportunities, peer-to-peer learning groups, and committees where you can directly shape the direction of the industry.

Together, we promote a strong, fair, and forward-thinking housing finance system that supports responsible lending, expands homeownership opportunities, and fuels economic growth across Ohio.
