As you may or may not have heard, Mortgage SA have rebranded. Rebranded to the name OOBA. An interesting name and an interesting strategy considering the Mortgage SA name brand being so well known and recognised. So we ask ourselves, WHY OOBA and why the change of strategy....? Well I think it's pretty simple. OOBA gives mortage sa another chance to target new clients. A new branding strategy and a new way to market younger, new home loan folk. They also look like they're slowly but surely moving into the financing arena, meaning they now provide financial services such as the OOBA card, OOBA insurance and OOBA mortgages.
Lets see what the OOBA brand brings Wizard Loans.
Wizard and proud memeber of the OOBA FAMILY.
