        This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO ("Schedule TO") filed by Royal Bank of
Canada, a Canadian commercial bank ("Parent") and Prism Acquisition Subsidiary,
Inc. (formerly, Rainbow Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc.), a Delaware corporation
and a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser") on March 22,
2000. The Schedule TO relates to the third party tender offer (the "Offer") by
Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Prism Financial Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), together with the associated rights to
purchase preferred stock issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of
January 27, 2000 between the Company and LaSalle Bank National Association (the
"Rights" and, together with the Common Stock, the "Shares"), at a price of $7.50
per Share (such amount, or any higher price that may be paid per Share in the
Offer, the "Per Share Amount"), net to the seller in cash, less any required
withholding of taxes and without the payment of any interest, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 22,
2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies
of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively, to the
Schedule TO (and which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto,
constitute the "Offer).

ITEM 4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION.

        (a) The response to Item 7(a) is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

               The last paragraph under Section 16--"Certain Conditions of the
        Offer" contained in the Offer to Purchase is deleted in its entirety and
        replaced with the following language:

                      "The conditions set forth above (other than the Minimum
               Condition) are for the sole benefit of Purchaser and may be
               asserted by Purchaser regardless of any circumstances giving rise
               to any condition and may be waived (other than the Minimum
               Condition) by Purchaser, in whole or in part, at any time and
               from time to time, in the sole discretion of Purchaser; provided
               that the determination of the satisfaction or waiver of all
               conditions, other than those involving receipt of government
               approvals, will be made on or before the Expiration Date. The
               failure by Parent or Purchaser (or any affiliate of Purchaser) at
               any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be
               deemed a waiver of any right and each right will be deemed an
               ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to
               time as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence."

ITEM 7. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

        (a) The response to Item 4(a) is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

               The following language is hereby added to the end of the sole
        paragraph under Section 10--"Source and Amount of Funds" contained in
        the Offer to Purchase:

                      "No alternate financing plans exist."


ITEM 11.       ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

        (a) The response to Item 11(a) is hereby amended and supplemented by the
        addition of the following language:

                      "On April 10, 2000 early termination of the 15-day waiting
               period applicable to the Offer under the HSR Act, was granted by
               the FTC. Early termination or expiration of the waiting period
               under the HSR Act was a condition to the Offer, and such
               condition has now been satisfied."
