ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

NextCard, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors plans to name John Hashman,
currently President and Chief Financial Officer, as its Chief Executive Officer
at its next meeting on August 10, 2000. Mr. Hashman has served as NextCard's
Chief Financial Officer since joining the company in September 1997, and as
President and Chief Financial Officer since March 2000. Jeremy Lent will
continue as Chairman of the Board of  Directors and will assume the new role of
Chief Strategy Officer. Additionally, the Company announced it is bringing in
its anticipated break-even date from 2002 to late 2001.

Mr. Lent stated that he will remain highly involved in the strategic direction
of NextCard in the role of both Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer, and expects
to work closely with Mr. Hashman. Mr. Lent stated further that his decision to
step down from the Chief Executive Officer role was driven by his wife's ongoing
medical condition, which will require a greater time commitment than in the
past.

To replace  Mr. Hashman in the role of Chief Financial Officer, the Company
announced that Bruce Rigione, currently Senior Vice President - International
Business Development, will be named Chief Financial Officer, effective August
10, 2000. Mr. Rigione is also a member of NextCard's Board of Directors.

NextCard also announced that, due to better than anticipated loan growth,
strongly increasing yield and controlled expenses, the Company has brought in
its expected break-even date to late 2001, a full year earlier than the
break-even date anticipated when NextCard went public last year. The Company
will be sharing further details at its quarterly earnings conference call later
this week.
