The Mellon Bank Credit Card Master Trust (the "Trust") was
formed pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1,
1995, between Mellon Bank (DE) National Association ("Mellon (DE)"), as
Transferor and Servicer, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The Trust was
formed for the purpose of acquiring certain trust assets and issuing asset-based
certificates under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and one or more
supplements thereto. The property of the Trust includes a portfolio of
receivables arising under selected MasterCard and VISA revolving credit accounts
transferred to the Trust by Mellon (DE).
On November 21, 1995, the Trust issued $814,625,000 of Class A
Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1995-A and $54,625,000 Class B

"Certificates"). On February 8, 1996, the Certificates were registered pursuant

of its rights as Transferor and Servicer under the Trust and the assumption by
the purchaser of all of Mellon (DE)'s obligations as Transferor and Servicer
under the Trust.

[Letterhead of KPMG LLP]
Independent Accountants' Report
Mellon Bank Credit Card Master Trust
c/o The Bank of New York, as Trustee
Mellon Bank (DE) National Association, as Servicer
We have examined the accompanying assertion made by management on Mellon Bank
(DE) National Association's ("Mellon (DE)") compliance, as Servicer, with
Article IV, Section 4.3, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Mellon
Bank Credit Card Master Trust, dated as of November 1, 1995, including the
Supplement (Series 1995-A), dated November 1, 1995 (collectively, the
"Agreement"), for the year ended December 31, 1998. Management is responsible
for Mellon (DE)'s compliance with the aforementioned section of the Agreement.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about
Mellon (DE)'s compliance based upon our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Mellon (DE)'s compliance with the
aforementioned section of the Agreement and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on Mellon (DE)'s compliance with the Agreement.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Mellon (DE) was materially in
compliance with the aforementioned section of the Agreement for the year ended
December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
