                                EXPLANATORY NOTE


  This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 amends Registration Statement
No. 333-60313 which was previously filed on Form S-4 (the "Original Registration
Statement") in connection with the mergers (the "Mergers") of each of First
Chicago NBD Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("FCN"),  and BANC ONE
CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation ("BANC ONE"), with and into BANK ONE
CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("ONE").  The Original Registration
Statement as amended by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is referred to
herein as the "Registration Statement".  In connection with the filing of the
Original Registration Statement, 547,000,000 shares of ONE Common Stock, $0.01
par value per share (the "ONE Common Stock"), were registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and the applicable filing
fee was paid.  The number of shares so registered pursuant to the Original
Registration Statement were those shares which are expected to be distributed to
the holders of FCN Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the "FCN Common
Stock"), in connection with the Mergers and those shares which are necessary to
be distributed, or reserved for issuance, to FCN employees and directors in
connection with certain employee benefit plans of FCN in effect at the time of
the Mergers as listed on the cover of this Post-Effective Amendment No.1 (the
"FCN Plans").  Pursuant to the terms of the Mergers, all outstanding FCN
employee and director stock options exercisable for FCN Common Stock under the
FCN Plans are to be converted into stock options exerciseable for ONE Common
Stock after the effective time of the Mergers based on a formula which will be
described in the offering material sent to holders of FCN stock options.  In
addition, modifications will be made in the other FCN Plans to provide for the
issuance of ONE Common Stock in lieu of FCN Common Stock, as provided in the
relevant plan, after the effective time of the Mergers; updated offering
materials also will be sent to participants in these plans.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

   ONE is a Delaware corporation.  Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware contains detailed provisions on indemnification of
directors and officers of a Delaware corporation against expenses, judgements,
fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with litigation.

   Article Seventh  of ONE's  Certificate of Incorporation will, at the
consummation of the Mergers,  provide for indemnification of directors and
officers.  The provision will provide that any person shall to the fullest
extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware be
indemnified and reimbursed by ONE for expenses and liabilities imposed upon the
person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, civil or criminal, or
threat thereof, in which the person may be involved by reason of the person
being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of ONE, or of any
corporation or organization which the person served in any capacity at the
request of ONE.  Such Article Seventh, as permitted by the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, also provides that a director of ONE shall not be
personally liable to ONE or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to ONE or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived
any improper personal benefit.

  The First Chicago NBD Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan")
provides that, to the extent permitted by law, any person who is a present or
former director, officer or employee of any employer covered by the Plan to whom
the Retirement Committee, which administers the Plan, or an employer has
delegated any portion of its responsibilities under the Plan and each present or
former Retirement Committee member shall be indemnified and saved harmless by
the employers (to the extent not indemnified or saved harmless under any
liability insurance or other indemnification arrangement with respect to the
Plan) from and against any and all claims of liability to which such person may
be subjected by reason of any act done or omitted to be done in good faith with
respect to the administration of the Plan or the investment of the trust fund,
including all expenses reasonably incurred in the individual's defense, in the
event that the employers fail to provide such defense.

   The First Chicago Corporation 1983 Stock Option Plan (the "1983 Plan")
provides that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of an
employer whose employees were eligible to participate in the 1983 Plan and each
non-officer director shall be entitled to indemnification by such employers from
and against any and all liability or claim to liability to which such person may
be subjected by reason of any act done in good faith or omitted to be done in
good faith with respect to the administration of the 1983 Plan, including all
expenses reasonably incurred in the individual's defense, in the event that such
employers fail to provide such defense.

   The First Chicago NBD Corporation Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan
(the "Stock Purchase Plan") provides that any person who is a director, officer
or employee of FCN (or its successor) or a corporation whose employees are
eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan and each member of the
committee administering the Stock Purchase Plan shall be entitled to
indemnification by FCN (or its successor) from and against any and all liability
or claim of liability to which such person may be subjected by reason of any act
done or omitted to be done in good faith with respect to the administration of
the Stock Purchase Plan, including all expenses reasonably incurred in his
defense in the event that FCN fails to provide such defense.

   Each of the INB Financial Corporation 1990 Stock Incentive Plan and the FNW
Bancorp, Inc. 1989 Stock Incentive Plan provides that each person who is a
member of the Board of Directors of FCN (or its successor) or a member of the
Board committee which administers such plan shall be indemnified by FCN (or its
successor) against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from
any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he may be a party or in which he
may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the
applicable plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him in
settlement thereof, with FCN's (or its successor's) approval, or paid by him in
satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against
him, provided he shall give FCN (or its successor) an opportunity, at its own
expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend
it on his own behalf.  This indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights
of indemnification to which such director may otherwise be entitled to from FCN
(or its successor).

   The directors and officers of ONE may be covered by an insurance policy,
indemnifying them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the federal securities laws, which might be incurred by them in such capacity.

   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling ONE pursuant to the foregoing provisions, ONE
has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.


Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

   This item is inapplicable.

IRS to qualify such plan under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Item 9.     Undertakings.

   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:


             (l)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
   being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to
   include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
   1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
   effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
   effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
   represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
   Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
   decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
   securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
   deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
   may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
   to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
   represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
   set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
   registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with
   respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
   Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
   Registration Statement.

   Provided, however, that paragraphs (l)(i) and (l)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.

             (2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
   Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
   be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
   and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
   initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
   amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
   termination of the offering.

             (4)    That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
   Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Registrant's annual report pursuant to
   Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
   where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
   pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
   incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
   a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
   the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
   initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (5)    That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
   under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to Registrant's indemnification
   provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
   the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
   policy as expressed in such Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
   event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
   payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
   controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
   suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
   person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will,
   unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
   controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
   question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
   expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
   issue.

    Re:  BANK ONE CORPORATION
         Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on
         Form S-8 Registration Statement

 
Ladies and Gentlemen:

    Reference is made to the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the  Registration
Statement on Form S-8 of BANK ONE CORPORATION (the "Company") relating to
certain stock-based employee or director benefit plans of First Chicago NBD
Corporation (collectively, the "Plans") concurrently being filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement") pursuant to
which the Company's common stock, $ 0.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), will be issued, or reserved for issuance, under the Plans pursuant to
the Merger of First Chicago NBD Corporation with, and into, the Company (the
"Merger") under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as
of April 10, 1998, as amended (the "Agreement") by and among the Company, First
Chicago NBD Corporation and BANC ONE CORPORATION.

    I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of BANC ONE CORPORATION, the
parent corporation of the Company.    I, or members of my staff subject to my
supervision, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to my satisfaction, of such corporate records, certificates of public
officials, and other documents as I have deemed necessary or relevant as a basis
for my opinion set forth herein.

    On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that the shares of Common
Stock offered as set forth in the Registration Statement and relevant Plan
documents, when issued in accordance with their respective terms and the terms
of the Agreement and the respective Plans, will be legally issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.

    I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of my name whenever it appears in such
Registration Statement, including the applicable Prospectus constituting a part
thereof, as originally filed or as subsequently amended.


                                         Very truly yours,
 


                                         /s/  Steven Alan Bennett

inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

adopted by the Board of Directors or by the stockholders of the Company shall
constitute the granting of an Award under the Plan.  An Employee who receives an
Award under the Plan will not, with respect to such Award, be deemed to have

terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, any Stock subject to such Award

reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, Stock
dividend, split-up, share combination, or other change in the corporate
structure of the Company affecting the Stock, such adjustment shall be made in
the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, and in the
number and class of and/or price of Shares subject to outstanding Options, and
Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan, as may be determined to be
appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent
dilution or enlargement of rights; and provided that the number of Shares
subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.  Any adjustment of an

notice to the Company setting forth the number of Shares of Stock with respect
to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the
Shares.  The Option price upon exercise of any option shall be payable to the
Company in full either (a) in cash or its equivalent, or (b) by tendering Shares
of previously acquired Stock having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise
equal to the total Option price, or (c) by combination of (a) and (b).  The
proceeds from such a payment shall be added to the general funds of the Company
and shall be used for general corporate purposes.  As soon as practicable, after
receipt of written notification and payment, the Company shall deliver to the

the expiration date of the Options or within 90 days after such date of
termination of employment, whichever period is shorter, by such person or
persons as shall have acquired the Participant's rights under the Option by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In the event the employment of a
Participant is terminated by reason of Disability, any outstanding Options shall
become immediately exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date of the
Options or within 90 days after such date of termination of employment,
whichever period is shorter.  In the event the employment of a Participant is
terminated by reason of retirement (as defined under the then established rules
of the Company), any outstanding Options shall become immediately exercisable at
any time prior to the expiration date of the Options or within three years after
such date of termination of employment, whichever period is shorter.  In the
case of Incentive Stock Options, the favorable tax treatment prescribed under
Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended may not be
available if the options are not exercised within the Section 422A prescribed
time period after termination of employment for death, disability, or
retirement.

Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his
lifetime only by such Participant.

                        -------------------------------

     An option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement
 in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time.  The agreement
 shall state whether the options issued thereunder are incentive stock options
 as defined in Code Section 422A (or any subsequent law or regulation of similar
 effect) or non-statutory stock options governed by Code Section 83 (or any
 subsequent law or regulation of similar effect) which will not be treated as
 incentive stock options, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
 conditions of this Plan, including the following:

     Section 7.01.   Number of Common Shares.  The option agreement shall state
     -------------   -----------------------                                   
 the total number of Common Shares subject to the option.

     Section 7.02.   Exercise Price.  The option agreement shall state the
     -------------   --------------                                       
 exercise price for the purchase of the Common Shares under the option.

     (a) Incentive Stock Options.  The exercise price of an incentive stock
         -----------------------                                           
 option shall be an amount per share not less than the fair market value per
 share of the Common Shares on the date of grant of the option.  In the case of
 incentive stock options granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the exercise
 price shall be a price per share not less than 110% of the fair market value
 per share of the Common Shares on the date of grant of the incentive stock
 option.  The fair market value of the Common Shares shall be determined by the
 Committee in accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall prescribe
 from time to time.

     (b) Non-statutory Stock Options.  The exercise price of a non-statutory
         ----------------------------                                       
 stock option shall be an amount per share determined by either the Committee or
 the full Board of Directors.

     Section 7.03.   Term.  The option agreement shall state the date of grant
     -------------   ----

 option shall not be more than (i) five years from the date of grant of the
 incentive stock option if the Optionee is a Ten Percent Shareholder, or (ii)
 ten years from the date of grant of the incentive stock option if the Optionee
 is not a Ten Percent Shareholder.

     Section 7.04.   Time of Exercise.  Each option shall be exercisable in
     -------------   ----------------                                      
 whole or in part and at any time during the period commencing on the date of
 grant of the option and ending on the date of termination of the option.
 Provided, however, that an option shall be exercisable only for whole shares;
 and, provided, further, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may include
 a provision in the option agreement stating that the options granted thereunder
 may not be exercised in whole or in part until the expiration of such period or
 periods of time as may be specified by the Committee in the option agreement.

     Section 7.05.   Assignability.  No option shall be assignable or

 his legal representative, as provided in Section 7.08 of this Plan, may
                                          ------------                  
 exercise the option.  No option shall be pledged or hypothecated in any way, or
 subject to execution, attachment or similar process, except with the Commitee's
 written consent.

     Section 7.06.    Notice of Exercise.  An Optionee (or other persons
     --------------   ------------------                                
 authorized to exercise an Optionee's option under Section 7.08 of this Plan)
                                                   ------------              
 desiring to exercise an option granted under this Plan shall give written
 notice of exercise to the Company at its principal office specifying the number
 of Common Shares to be purchased.

     Section 7.07.   Exercise.  The notice to the Company specified in Section
     -------------   --------                                          -------
 7.06 of this Plan shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price in cash
 ----                                                                           
 or by check, or by delivery to the Company of a certificate(s), duly endorsed
 for transfer to the Company, representing Common Shares having a fair market
 value, based on the last sale price of the Common Shares as reported on the
 National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System for the
 last trading day prior to the date of such payment, of not less than the
 exercise price of the option (a certificate for any excess shares to be
 reissued), or upon such other terms and conditions as are acceptable to the
 Company.  As soon as practicable after payment of the exercise price, the
 Optionee shall deliver to the Company such agreements and documents as the
 Company may reasonably request.  The exercise of the option shall be effective
 upon receipt of the Secretary of the Company of all of the foregoing.

    Section 7.08.   Separation from Service.  Upon the Separation from Service
    -------------   -----------------------                                   
 of an Optionee, all options outstanding in the hands of the Optionee shall
 terminate immediately as to any unexercised portion thereof.  Provided,
 however, that if any Separation from Service is due to:

    (a) the retirement of the Optionee with the consent of the Company or an
 Affiliate, as the case may be, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise
 options to purchase Common Shares within a thirty-six month period, immediately
 following the Separation from Service, so long as the option is exercisable on
 the effective date of the Separation from Service;

    (b) the permanent and total disability of the Optionee, the Optionee shall
 have the right to exercise the option to purchase Common Shares within the
 thirty-six month period immediately following the Separation from Service, so
 long as the option is exercisable on the effective date of the Separation from
 Service; or

    (c) the death of the Optionee, the Optionee's personal representative shall
 have the right to exercise the option to purchase Common Shares within the
 twelve month period immediately following the date of death, so long as the
 option is exercisable on the date of the death.

     The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine whether
 a Separation from Service is to be considered a retirement with the consent of
 the Company or an Affiliate or due to permanent and total disability, and
<PAGE>
 
whether an authorized leave of absence or an absence on military or government
service shall be deemed to constitute a Separation from Service for purposes of
this Plan.

    Section 7.09.   Issuance of Shares and Compliance with Securities Laws.  The
    -------------   ------------------------------------------------------      
Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing Common
Shares until the Company determines that such issuance and delivery complies
with all applicable securities laws, rules, and regulations, and, if the Company
deems it appropriate, may postpone such issuance and delivery until:

    (a) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on which
shares of the Company of the same class are then listed, and

    (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such
shares under any applicable law, rule or regulation as the Company shall
determine to be necessary or advisable, which registration or other
qualification the Company shall use its best efforts to complete.

Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring
the Company to register or otherwise qualify such shares.  In the event the
Company deems it appropriate to register or otherwise qualify such shares before
such issuance and delivery, but determines in its sole and absolute discretion
not to so register or qualify such shares, the Company shall make other
equitable arrangements with the Optionee.

    Any Optionee purchasing Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of an option
granted under this Plan may be required to make such written and oral
representations and furnish such information in writing and orally as may, in
the Company's discretion, be appropriate to permit the Company to determine the
necessity of registration of the Common Shares under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or any similar state or other statute, and to permit compliance with
all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.

    Section 7.10.   Rights as a Shareholder.  An Optionee shall have no rights
    -------------   -----------------------                                   
as a shareholder with respect to Common Shares covered by an option until the
date of issuance of a certificate evidencing Common Shares to the Optionee.  No
adjustment will be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such certificate evidencing Common Shares
is issued.

    Section 7.11.   Other Provisions.  The option agreement shall contain such
    -------------   ----------------                                          
other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable.

                                  ADJUSTMENTS
                                  -----------

   Section 8.01.   Recapitalization.  The Committee shall adjust the aggregate
   -------------   ----------------                                           
number of Common Shares on which options may be granted under this Plan, the
number of Common Shares subject to each outstanding option, and the exercise
price for the purchase of Common Shares under each outstanding option for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares
<PAGE>
 
resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or any other capital
adjustment, the payment of a share dividend, or any other increase or decrease
in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares effected without receipt
of consideration by the Company.  In the event that, prior to the Company's
delivery of the certificates evidencing Common Shares remaining under any
outstanding option granted under this Plan, there shall be a capital
reorganization or reclassification of the capital of the Company resulting in a
substitution of other shares for the Common Shares, there shall be substituted
the number of substitute shares which would have been issued in exchange for the
Common Shares then remaining under the option if such Common Shares had been
then issued and outstanding.  Neither the adoption of this Plan nor the grant of
an option under this Plan shall affect or restrict in any way the right or power
of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or
changes in its capital or business structure.

    Section 8.02.   Merger, Consolidation, Dissolution or Liquidation.  If the
    ------------    --------------------------------------------------        
Company shall be a party to any merger or consolidation, or in the event of the
dissolution or complete liquidation of the Company, the Company shall have the
right to terminate all outstanding options on 30 days' written notice to the
Optionees.  Notwithstanding the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this
Plan or in any option agreement, during this 30 day period all options shall be
immediately exercisable in full.  Provided, however, that if such merger or
consolidation is not consummated within 180 days from the date of the
aforementioned notice, or the plan of dissolution or liquidation is revoked, all
terminated options shall be deemed to have been continuously in effect since the
date of grant.

and outstanding Common Shares of the Company voting in person or by proxy at a
meeting of the shareholders of the Company; provided, however, that this Plan
shall become effective only if such shareholders approve it within twelve months
before or after the date it is adopted by the Board of Directors.  This Plan
shall terminate ten years after the earlier of the date it is adopted by the
Board of Directors or the date it is approved by the shareholders (February 22,
1989), or on such earlier date as the Board of Directors may determine.  No
option shall be granted under this Plan thereafter.

except any members participating in this Plan, may alter, amend, suspend, or
discontinue this Plan with respect to any Common Shares as to which options have
not been granted; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may not,

outstanding Common Shares of the Company voting in person or by proxy at a

 option.
