                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Administrative Committee
of the Union Planters Corporation 401(k)
Retirement Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Union Planters Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan")
at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995 and
the one-month period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, various plans were merged
with the Plan during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not
a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    INVESTMENTS

    Investments of the Plan are stated at fair value determined by quoted
    prices in an active market, if available.  The fair value shown for
    investments in common trust funds represents the estimated fair value as
    determined in good faith by the trustees of the funds.  Many factors are
    considered in arriving at fair value; however, the realization value is the
    primary factor.  The Plan recognizes realized gains and losses using the
    revalued cost method whereby realized gains and losses are calculated on
    sales proceeds less current value at the beginning of the year or
    acquisition cost if acquired during the year.  Unrealized gains and losses
    are calculated as the current value of the investment held at the end of
    the year less the current value at the beginning of the year or acquisition
    cost if acquired during the year. Purchases and sales of securities are
    recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
    basis.

    DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE

    In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants   
    Audit and Accounting Guide, "Audits of Employee Benefit Plans" dated May 1,
    1995, benefit payments payable to terminated participants totaling
    $3,487,045 and $951,979 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, have
    not been included in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

    The following summarizes the fund information for the distributions
    payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

2.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     GENERAL

     The Union Planters Corporation Thrift and Savings Plan and the Union
     Planters   Corporation Thrift and Savings Trust were adopted effective
     January 1, 1982 and restated effective January 1, 1986 to maintain
     compliance with certain legislative requirements which had been revised. 
     Effective January 1, 1989, the Union Planters Corporation Thrift and
     Savings Plan was converted into the Union Planters Corporation 401(k)
     Retirement Savings Plan.  In July 1994, the Plan was amended to permit
     each participant in the Plan to elect among five investment fund options,
     including shares of Union Planters Corporation Common Stock having a par
     value of $5.00 per share, commencing December 1, 1994.  Before this
     amendment, the participants were permitted no such investment choices
     under the Plan.  Accordingly, on December 1, 1994, certain investments
     held by the Plan were transferred at fair value to certain common trust
     funds managed by Union Planters National Bank in exchange for equivalent
     value interests in the common trust funds.

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the   
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  The Plan is
     administered by a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan Administrative Committee
     (the "Committee") composed of certain Corporation affiliated members
     appointed by the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board").  In 1986,
     the Board appointed Union Planters National Bank as Trustee of the Plan. 
     The Trustee receives all contributions and pays benefits in accordance
     with instructions given by the Committee.  The Plan sponsor is the
     Corporation.

2.   PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

     The Plan is available to all employees of the Corporation and its  
     participating subsidiaries who complete one year of service and work 1,000
     or more hours per year.  Participation may be elected by the employee the
     first day of any month following the satisfaction of the eligibility
     requirements.

     CONTRIBUTIONS

     In order to participate, the employee must elect a Member Basic
     Contribution, which may be 1% to 16% of the employee's gross salary
     up to $150,000 or Base Pay if Base Pay is greater than $150,000.  The
     maximum contributions allowable by law were $9,500 and $9,240 for the
     twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995 and the one-month period ended
     December 31, 1994, respectively.  The amount is increased each year based
     on the cost of living index.  This contribution is made through pretax
     payroll deductions and is matched by the Corporation up to 6% of
     compensation based on a percentage determined by the employee's length of
     service as follows:  50% for employees with up to 10 years of
     participating service, 75% for employees with 10 to 25 years of
     participating service and 100% for employees with 25 or more years of
     participating service.  The matching percentage for employees who have
     participated in the Plan since its inception is determined based on their
     years of total service rather than their participating service.

     Once the Member Basic Contribution has been elected, the employee may
     elect several additional contribution options (none of which are
     matched by the Corporation) as follows:

     Flex dollar contribution - an employee may elect to have all or a portion
     of Corporation provided flexible benefit dollars invested in their Plan
     account.

     Rollover contribution - an employee receiving a lump sum distribution from
     a qualified retirement plan may choose to invest all or part of that
     distribution in the Plan.  Participation in the Member Basic Contribution
     in prior periods is not required to make a rollover contribution.

     In addition to the normal matching of Member Basic Contributions, the      
     Corporation may elect to contribute an additional discretionary amount to
     the Plan.  No such additional contributions were made during the
     twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995 or the one-month period ended 
     December 31, 1994.

     VESTING

     Plan participants are 100% vested in their contributions and the flex
     dollar contributions made on their behalf, including earnings through
     the most recent Plan year end.  Earnings become vested interests in the
     Plan quarterly.  Any non-vested earnings accruing during the year in which
     an employee terminates are forfeited by the employee.  Additionally,
     vesting in Corporation contributions and related earnings commences after
     five years of participating service with 100% vesting.  Total vesting also
     occurs upon total disability, death, retirement or other events as defined

2.   PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

     by the Plan.  As of each Plan year-end, any amounts which have been
     forfeited  during the Plan year are first made available to reinstate
     previously forfeited balances of former participants.  Remaining
     forfeitures, if any, are allocated at the sole discretion of the
     Corporation.  Upon retirement, total disability or death, participants or
     their beneficiaries become eligible for distribution within 60 days
     following the Plan year-end.  Upon termination, participants become
     eligible for distribution within 60 days following the end of the month of
     such termination.

     PARTICIPANT LOANS

     The Plan Administrator may make loans to Plan participants only for
     purposes Of purchasing a primary residence or for post-secondary
     education of an immediate family member.

     PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has expressed no intent to do so, the Corporation has the
     right Under the terms of the Plan to discontinue its contributions
     and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In such event,
     Plan participants would become 100% vested in all contributions and
     earnings.

     All necessary expenses of the Plan may be paid by the Plan; however, the   
     Corporation has customarily paid these expenses and presently intends to
     continue this practice.

     INVESTMENT OPTIONS

     Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee
     contributions in any of the following five investment options:

     Money Market Option - Participant directed funds are invested in money
     market funds which invest only in U.S. Government securities. 
     Typically, these investments are U.S. Treasury Bills and short-term U.S.
     Treasury notes maturing in six months or less.

     Fixed Income Option - Participant directed funds are primarily invested in 
     the Employee Benefit Trust's Fixed Income Fund of Union Planters National
     Bank and the Westport Bank & Trust Company Managed Guaranteed Investment
     Contract Fund.  These funds invest in a wide range of high-quality,
     intermediate-term bonds and investment contracts.  Issuers include the
     U.S. Government, U.S. Government agencies and well-known corporations,
     banks and insurance companies.

</TABLE>



7. ROLLOVERS OF ASSETS

   During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995 and the one-month
   period ended December 31, 1994, the Plan received rollovers of account
   balances from various participants in retirement and benefit plans of
   various subsidiaries of the Corporation along with individual rollovers
   totaling $127,014 and $1,877, respectively.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   Certain Plan investments are shares of a money market fund managed by Union
   Planters National Bank and common trust funds of Union Planters National
   Bank.  Union Planters National Bank is the trustee as defined by the Plan;
   therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  As
   previously noted, all necessary expenses of the Plan have been customarily
   paid by the Corporation.

9. INCOME TAX STATUS

   The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
   Service dated April 5, 1986 indicating that the Plan is qualified under
   Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) and, therefore, not subject to tax
   under Section 501(a).  A determination letter has been requested regarding
   the amendments to the Plan relative to qualification under Section 401(k)
   and the Tax Reform Act of 1986.  The Corporation believes the amendments to
   the Plan qualify under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
