FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                              BANK ONE ANNOUNCES
              THIRD QUARTER OPERATING EARNINGS OF $0.86 PER SHARE


CHICAGO, October 19, 1999 - BANK ONE CORPORATION (NYSE: ONE) today announced
third quarter operating earnings of $1.014 billion, excluding merger-related and
restructuring costs, or $0.86 per diluted share. Operating earnings in 1998's
third quarter were $1.005 billion, or $0.84 per share. Reported net income for
the 1999 third quarter was $925 million, or $0.79 per share.

"As expected, earnings from our credit card business declined," said John B.
McCoy, president and chief executive officer. "We continue to be highly focused
on stabilizing returns at First USA and generating fundamental growth for the
future.

"In addition, noninterest expense declined for the third consecutive quarter, a
clear indication that we are delivering on promised merger synergies," McCoy
said. "Merger integration continued on track, with the consolidation of our
Illinois banks and of the First Card customers into First USA in the third
quarter. All major integrations and systems conversions scheduled for this year
have been successfully completed."

Merger-related and restructuring charges in the third quarter were $132 million
pre-tax, or $0.07 per share. The 1998 third quarter included gains on sales of
banking centers of $69 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, Bank One's operating earnings were
$3.172 billion, or $2.67 per diluted share, up 13% from $2.37 per share in the
1998 period. Return on equity was 20.7% for the nine months.

1999 Third Quarter Highlights

The operating highlights of the third quarter included:

     .  Managed revenue rose 6% from 1998's third quarter.

     .  Managed net interest income increased 4% from the prior year's quarter,
        driven by average loan growth of 11%. The managed net interest margin
        was 5.32% in the third quarter, compared to 5.63% in the year-ago
        quarter and 5.55% in this year's second quarter.

                                      -2-

     .  Managed noninterest income increased 9% from the 1998 third quarter.

     .  Noninterest expense decreased for the third consecutive quarter and was
        only 2% higher than in the year-ago quarter. The managed efficiency
        ratio was 49.6% in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter,
        Bank One had achieved 97% of 1999's expected expense synergies.

     .  Return on common equity was 19.9%, excluding merger-related costs.

                       THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The following discussion is on a managed basis, excluding merger-related and
restructuring costs as well as gains on banking center sales noted above, in
order to better describe underlying operating trends. Managed information has
been adjusted to include credit card loans that were securitized and removed
from the balance sheet. The net earnings on securitized credit card loans are
reclassified from noninterest income to net interest income and provision for
credit losses as if the securitization had not occurred.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Managed net interest income was $3.624 billion on a tax equivalent basis in the
third quarter, compared with $3.485 billion in the 1998 third quarter. This 4%
increase reflected earning asset growth partially offset by the lower net
interest margin. Average managed earning assets were up 10% from the 1998 third
quarter, with loans up 11%. The net interest margin was 5.32% in the third
quarter, down from 5.63% in the year-ago quarter. The lower effective yield on
credit card loans was the principal cause of margin compression.

The third quarter's managed net interest income was down $51 million from the
prior quarter. This reflected a 23 basis point decline in the net interest
margin from the second quarter primarily related to credit card margin
compression, which was only partially offset by average managed earning asset
growth of 7% on an annualized basis. Compared with the 1999 second quarter,
average managed loans increased 8% on an annualized basis, or 11% excluding
average credit card loans, which increased only slightly.

Noninterest Income

Managed noninterest income was $1.583 billion in the third quarter, up 9% from
1998's third quarter, excluding gains on the sale of banking centers related to
the Retail Delivery Initiative.

Market-driven revenue was $122 million in the third quarter. This compares with
only $55 million in the year-ago quarter when capital markets were in turmoil.

Fee-based revenue increased 3% from the year-ago quarter to $1.264 billion.
Credit card fees were up 2% related to growth of transaction volumes, partially
from the acquisition of the Chevy Chase portfolio at the end of 1998's third
quarter. Gains related to securitization activity declined to $12 million in
this year's quarter from last year's $87 million because there were no material
new securitizations during the quarter. Loan service fees and deposit account
fees showed strong growth from the year-ago quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $2.581 billion in the third quarter, excluding merger-
related charges, up 2% from the 1998 third quarter. Merger-related expenses were
$132 million in the third quarter, compared to $179 million in the second
quarter.

Merger-related expense synergies continue to reduce operating expenses, which
were partially offset by higher volumes and increased marketing expenses,
principally related to the credit card business. Salaries and benefits declined
10% from 1998's third quarter, reflecting fewer employees and reduced senior
management incentive compensation. Marketing expenses increased 29%, principally
at First USA. Outside service fees were up 44%, related to higher volumes and
additional outsourcing.

Noninterest expense declined $46 million from this year's second quarter,
reflecting additional merger expense synergies of $50 million, as well as lower
salaries and benefits expense. Higher marketing and consulting expenses
partially offset the decreases. The cumulative merger savings for 1999 are $450
million, or 97% of the target for 1999.

Provision for Credit Losses and Credit Quality

The managed net charge-off ratio was 2.01% in the third quarter, up from 1.91%
in the 1998 third quarter and 1.99% in the second quarter. Managed net charge-
offs were $1.105 billion, an increase from $1.075 billion in the second quarter
and $943 million in 1998's third quarter. The managed provision was $1.115
billion for the quarter, $10 million more than related net charge-offs.

Credit card managed net charge-offs decreased to 5.33% in the third quarter from
5.43% in the year-ago quarter, but increased slightly from the previous
quarter's 5.25%. Commercial net charge-offs were 0.40%, up from 0.21% in 1998's
third quarter and 0.36% in the second quarter. Consumer net charge-offs of 0.62%
for the third quarter were down slightly from 0.68% in the 1998 third quarter
but essentially unchanged from 0.61% in the second quarter.

Nonperforming assets were $1.140 billion at the end of the third quarter,
essentially unchanged from $1.137 billion at June 30, 1999. The nonperforming
assets ratio was 0.72% at September 30, 1999, and the allowance for credit
losses to loans was 1.42%.

Credit Card Update

As announced on August 24, 1999, growth of credit card outstandings slowed
significantly in the third quarter. Total managed loans were $70.0 billion at
September 30, 1999, a 7% increase from one year ago and up 1% from June 30,
1999. Additionally, the net interest margin declined an estimated 40 basis
points in the third quarter from the second quarter.

The results for the third quarter were consistent with the expectations
announced on August 24, 1999. Actions are being taken that are expected to
reduce customer attrition and stabilize returns at First USA in coming periods.

Capital

The common equity to assets ratio was 7.5% at September 30, 1999. Tier 1 and
total capital ratios were 7.7% and 10.7%, respectively. A 65 million share
repurchase program was authorized in the 1999 second quarter. Since the
inception of this program 37 million shares have been repurchased, including 32
million shares in the third quarter.

                                                         (312) 732-7007


                       BANK ONE APPOINTS McCOY CHAIRMAN,
                  ISTOCK PRESIDENT IN MANAGEMENT REALIGNMENT

     CHICAGO, Oct. 19, 1999 - BANK ONE CORPORATION (NYSE: ONE) today announced
that the board of directors has unanimously endorsed a series of management and
organizational changes. They include the appointment of John B. McCoy as
chairman while also retaining his title of chief executive officer, and the
naming of Verne G. Istock as president.

     These new alignments are intended to strengthen the day-to-day management
of businesses across the corporation. Reporting now to McCoy are the credit card
and consumer lending businesses as well as major staff areas. Reporting to
Istock are most of the operating areas, including commercial banking, investment
management, corporate investments, retail banking, consumer finance and
operations. Previously, most of the operating areas reported to McCoy and most
staff areas reported to Istock.

     "We are nearing the successful completion of our merger integration, which
has resulted in continuing management changes in our organization," McCoy said.
"Dick Vague, head of First USA, has decided to resign to pursue other interests.
Following Vague's decision, Bill Boardman has been elected chairman and head of
First USA. Bill brings a wealth of banking, card, and electronic payment systems
experience to his new position.

     "The First USA businesses, with their powerful information systems and
direct marketing expertise, remain key competitive strengths of the company,"
McCoy said. "As announced earlier, some marketing, pricing and customer service
issues in the card business have temporarily slowed First USA's overall
momentum. With his added experience as chairman of Visa International and past
chairman of Visa U.S.A., Bill is uniquely qualified to address these issues and
capitalize on future growth opportunities.

     "Verne and I are moving forward on several strategic initiatives regarding
corporate direction, future earnings expectations, and cost structure and intend
to report more fully to our shareholders at the previously announced analyst
meeting in November," McCoy said.

     BANK ONE CORPORATION (NYSE: ONE) is the nation's fifth-largest bank holding
company, with assets of more than $260 billion.  Bank One offers a full range of
financial services to commercial and business customers and consumers.  It can
