                 ZIONS BANCORPORATION REPORTS 22.2% INCREASE IN
                        OPERATING CASH EARNINGS PER SHARE


Salt Lake City, Utah, February 7, 2000 - Zions Bancorporation (Nasdaq: ZION)
today reported net income before merger-related charges of $58.2 million or
$0.67 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 1999. After merger-related
charges of $15.7 million net of tax or $0.18 per share, the Company reported net
income of $42.5 million or $0.49 per diluted share. Return on average equity was
9.87% for the quarter and return on average assets was .80%.

Operating cash earnings for the quarter were $66.4 million or $0.77 per diluted
share, an increase of 24.8% and 22.2%, respectively, over the $53.2 million or
$0.63 per diluted share earned in the fourth quarter of 1998. Historical
performance data have been restated to reflect the merger with Pioneer
Bancorporation in the fourth quarter and to account for a number of business
combinations conducted in 1997 and 1998 as purchases instead of poolings of
interests. The Company and its independent auditors, KPMG LLP believed and
continue to believe that there is substantial support for its accounting for
these business combinations as poolings of interests. However, in light of the
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff's views that certain share repurchases
undertaken by the Company violated Staff Accounting Bulletin 96, the Company has
decided to restate its financial statements for a number of these business
combinations. The change in the accounting method for these business
combinations reduced net income by $0.06 during the quarter. Operating cash ROE
for the fourth quarter of 1999 was 25.5% and cash ROA was 1.29%. The Company's
operating cash efficiency ratio was 58.1% for the quarter compared to 59.5% for
the third quarter. Operating cash earnings are earnings before the amortization
of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets and merger-related charges.
Operating cash performance ratios are determined as if goodwill, core deposit
intangible assets and merger-related charges have not been recognized in the
financial statements.

                                       1

For 1999, operating cash earnings were $243.8 million or $2.84 per diluted
share, an increase of 25.4% and 19.8%, respectively, over the restated $194.4
million or $2.37 per share earned last year. For 1999, cash ROE was 26.9% and
cash ROA was 1.27%. Net income for the year was $194.1 million or $2.26 per
diluted share, including $18.5 million or $0.22 per diluted share in after tax
merger-related charges. For the year, ROE was 12.4% and ROA was 0.97%.

"Nineteen ninety-nine capped a decade of impressive performance for our Company,
with compounded earnings per share growth in excess of 20 percent during the
'90's," remarked Harris Simmons, president and chief executive officer of Zions.
"Although the delay in closing our merger with First Security has been
frustrating, as we have mapped out our integration plan our enthusiasm has
increased for the value creation opportunities that this business combination
will have for our shareholders. We expect to file our restated earnings in
accordance with the SEC interpretation within a week and schedule the
shareholder vote in March. The transaction should close immediately thereafter."

For the fourth quarter of 1999, average on-balance-sheet and sold and serviced
loans (excluding long-term residential first mortgages) increased 14.8% to
$13.73 billion and average deposits increased 2.5% to $14.32 billion over the
balances reported one year ago. For the quarter, taxable-equivalent net interest
income increased 4.81% to $195.9 million, noninterest income was $74.5 million,
an increase of 22.0%, and noninterest expense, excluding goodwill and core
deposit amortization and merger-related charges, was down 3.0% to $157.2
million.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate was 0.58%
at December 31, 1999 compared to 0.48% at September 30. For the quarter, net
loan and lease losses were $9.0 million or 0.29% of average loans on an
annualized basis. For the year, net loan and lease losses were $29.0 million or
0.25% of average loans. At $204 million at December 31, 1999, the allowance for
loan losses was approximately three times nonperforming loans and 1.60% of total
loans.

In order to secure regulatory approval for the Company's merger with First
Security Corporation, in January the Company and First Security agreed to sell
68 branch offices with approximately $2.1 billion in deposits and $0.7 billion
in loans to another financial institution. This sale is anticipated to close in
the second quarter at which time the Company expects to report a gain of
approximately 9.8% of the deposits transferred.

Forward Looking Information
This news release contains statements regarding the timing of the close and the
projected performance of Zions and First Security assuming the merger of these
companies is completed. These statements constitute forward looking information
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. Actual
results of achievements may differ materially from the projections provided in
this release since such projections involve significant known and unknown risks
and uncertainties. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are
not limited to: the timing of closing the proposed merger being delayed or such
merger activities being prohibited; competitive pressures among financial
institutions increasing significantly; economic conditions, either nationally or
locally in areas in which the banks conduct their operations being less
favorable than expected; the cost and effort required to integrate the companies
being more difficult than expected or the required divestitures of branches or
deposits being greater than expected; expected cost savings from the proposed
merger not being fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; and
legislation or regulatory changes which adversely affect the ability of the
combined company to conduct, or the accounting for, business combinations and
new operations. The Company disclaims any obligation to update such factors or
to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward looking
statements included herein to reflect future events or developments.

</TABLE>

Comprehensive income for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$50,667 and $27,058, respectively.

Note to Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements for 1998 have been restated to give
effect to the merger of Pioneer Bancorporation which was acquired during the
last quarter of 1999 and accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
consolidated financial statements have also been restated to account for certain
business combinations consummated during 1997 and 1998, using the purchase
method of accounting instead of the pooling of interests method originally used
to account for the acquisitions.
