Item 5.  Other Events.
         -------------

     On or about December 16, 1996 Monthly Interest as defined in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 19, 1995 (the "Agreement") between
The Chase Manhattan Bank (formerly known as 'Chemical Bank') and The Bank of
New York, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), was distributed to holders 
("Certificateholders") of participations in the Chase Credit Card Master 
Trust (formerly known as "Chemical Master Credit Card Trust I") for 
Series 1995-1, 1995-2, 1995-3, 1996-1, 1996-2 and 1996-3 in accordance 
with the Agreement. A copy of the applicable Monthly Report for the month ended 
November 30, 1996, as defined in the Agreement, has been furnished to each 
Certificateholders in accordance with the Agreement.  Copies of those Monthly
Reports are being filed as Exhibit 20.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Excess spread for Series 1996-3 of Chase Credit Card Master Trust ("CHAMT") was
- -0.05% for November 1996. Lower yield and higher net charge-offs, relative to
the previous month, are responsible for the decline in excess spread.  Although
excess spread for Series 1996-3 was negative in November 1996, 3 month average 
excess spread in November remained positive for Series 1996-3.  Excess spread
and 3 month average excess spread in November 1996 were positive for all other
outstanding public issuances of CHAMT.  It is the opinion of The Chase 
Manhattan Bank as Servicer that since this one month decline in excess spread
is related to the coincidence of several one-time factors, there is no 
increased risk of early amortization of any series.

Portfolio yield for CHAMT decreased in November primarily due to two factors.
There was one less collections reporting day in the monthly period due to 
November ending on a Saturday.  In instances where the last day of the month is
a Saturday, First Data Resources ("FDR") does not post Saturday collections
until the following monthly period.  In addition, there is an historical trend
since 1992 in the credit card portfolio of Chemical Bank, which bank was the
transferor of receivables comprising approximately 78% of CHAMT, of reduced
collections in November of each year.

Losses for CHAMT increased in November primarily due to: (a) the effect of
bankruptcy losses related to certain accounts added to CHAMT as of September 1,
1996; and (b) a one-time impact on collection performance related to the
conversion of certain data processing and administrative systems of The Chase
Manhattan Bank's credit card portfolio to the FDR platform as of 
October 20, 1996.

Credit card net charge-offs as a percentage of The Chase Manhattan 
Corporation's (the "Corporation") average managed credit card receivables have 
begun to stabilize and Management believes that net charge-offs as a percentage
of the Corporation's average managed credit card receivables will be lower than
5% for the full year 1996.  Because the CHAMT portfolio comprises only a 
portion of the Corporation's managed credit card portfolio, actual loss 
experience for CHAMT for the full year 1996 may be higher than that of the
Corporation's managed credit card portfolio.

The forward-looking statements contained in this release are subject to risks
and uncertainties.  The actual performance results for CHAMT may differ 
materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements.  Reference
is made to the Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Bank on behalf of CHAMT and
the reports filed with such commission for a discussion of factors that may
cause such difference to occur.
