                                                        FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                   BAYBANKS ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

         BOSTON, Apr. 18, 1996 -- BayBanks, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBNK) today reported
net income for the first quarter of 1996 of $38.4 million, or $1.92 per share,
compared with $30.5 million, or $1.58 per share, in the first quarter of 1995,
an increase of 22 percent on a per share basis.  Reflected in the Company's
earnings for the first quarter of 1996 are the results of operations of BayBank
FSB and BayBank NH, the two New Hampshire banks that became subsidiaries of the
Company during the second half of 1995.  Earnings for the first quarter of 1996
included the effect of a favorable court decision on a Company tax refund
claim, resulting in an after-tax benefit of $2.5 million, or $.13 per share.

         Operating income for the quarter, before net securities gains and the
provisions for loan losses and OREO reserves and on a fully taxable basis, was
$71.3 million, up 18 percent from the $60.6 million reported in 1995.  Included
in operating income was $2.6 million of interest related to the tax claim noted
above.  Residential real estate lending was the primary source of new loan
volume during the first quarter of 1996.  Commercial real estate,
international, indirect auto, and student loans also grew during the quarter
while general commercial lending, home equity credit, and credit card loans
experienced declines.

         The Company's net interest margin for the first quarter was 5.14
percent,up from the previous quarter's 5.07 percent.  This improvement was
aided by the maturity of lower-yielding securities which were not reinvested,
but used instead to reduce the level of borrowed funds.

         Operating expenses increased 6% from the first quarter of 1995
reflecting the addition of the two New Hampshire banks mentioned above and
higher marketing costs related to the promotion of new products and services.
These costs were partially offset by a reduction in Federal Deposit Insurance
premiums and lower provisions for certain compensation programs.

         Credit costs were $6.5 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared
with $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 1995 and $7.5 million in the first
quarter of 1995.

         At Mar. 31, 1996, nonperforming assets were $87 million, compared with
$83 million at Dec. 31, 1995 and $112 million at Mar. 31, 1995.  Reserves for
loan losses at $152 million were 215 percent of nonperforming loans.

         BayBanks' preliminary consolidated risk-based capital ratios were
12.04 percent for core capital and 13.30 percent for total capital at Mar. 31,
1996.  The Company's preliminary leverage ratio was 7.96 percent as of the same
date.  All capital ratios have increased since year- end 1995.

         As previously announced, on Dec. 12, 1995, BayBanks, Inc. and Bank of
Boston Corporation entered into an agreement and plan of merger.  The merger is
subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies at meetings scheduled
for April 25, 1996 and by bank regulators and is expected to be completed
around mid-year.

(1)  In accordance with SFAS No. 114, included in nonperforming loans at March
     31, 1996 are loans totaling $9.0 million which were restructured during the
     first quarter of 1996.  These loans, which are on accrual status, bear
     market rates of interest and are performing under the restructured terms.
     Of the $9.0 million, $4.5 million previously had been reported as
     nonaccrual and $2.9 million previously had been reported as pre-SFAS 114
     restructured, accruing loans.

(2)  Restructured, accruing loans entered into prior to the adoption of SFAS No.
     114 are not reported as nonperforming loans.

(3)  As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 114 on January 1, 1995, $33.2
     million of in-substance foreclosures (ISF) and related reserves of $8.7
     million were reclassified to loans and the allowance for loan losses,
     respectively. Charge-offs of $8.7 million were subsequently recorded during
     the first quarter of 1995.  The reclassification of ISF reserves and
     subsequent charge-offs had no effect on the allowance for loan losses and
     are not reflected in the Summary of Loan Loss Experience table above.
