New York, January 19, 1999 -- The Chase Manhattan Corporation (NYSE:CMB) today
reported fourth quarter 1998 diluted operating  earnings per share of $1.31, a
39 percent increase  from $.94 per share in the same 1997 quarter.  Operating
earnings and reported net income in the fourth quarter of 1998 were $1.15
billion.  Operating earnings  and   reported  net  income  were  $850  million

Fourth Quarter 1998 Financial Highlights
- -  Operating revenues increased 25 percent from the same 1997 quarter,  and 19
     percent from the 1998 third  quarter,  driven by a sharp recovery in global
     banking  and  strong  growth  in  Chase's   consumer  and  global  services
     businesses.
- -  Chase's return on common equity rose to 20.1 percent from 16.5 percent
     in the fourth quarter of 1997.
- -  Shareholder value added (SVA) was $470 million.

Full Year Financial Highlights
- -  Operating  revenues  rose 12 percent  with all three  franchises  producing
     double-digit  growth. 
- -  Chase's Tier 1 capital ratio rose to 8.3 percent
     from 7.9 percent last year.
- -  Shareholder value added was $1.4 billion.

faced in recent years,  Chase's record  performance  demonstrates how strong and
differentiated a competitor it has become," said Walter V. Shipley, chairman and
chief executive officer. "Looking ahead, our focus remains unchanged: to realize
the full growth  potential  of Chase's  business  franchises  by  maintaining  a
disciplined approach to risk, capital and expense management."

</TABLE>

Chase's Global Bank had a very strong fourth quarter, with operating revenues up
37 percent  from fourth  quarter  1997  levels,  and 35 percent from this year's
third  quarter;  both prior  periods were  negatively  affected by global market
turmoil.  For the year,  operating  revenues and cash operating earnings rose 10
and 11 percent, respectively, from 1997 levels.

Trading  revenues  and related net  interest  income rose to $692 million in the
fourth  quarter,  matching the record set in the first quarter of this year, and
benefiting  from  strong  performance  across  traditional  products,  including
foreign exchange,  and newer businesses,  such as credit and equity derivatives,
and high grade  securities.  Securities  gains realized in the quarter were $167
million,  higher  than in the  year-ago  quarter  but  below  gains in the third
quarter of 1998. For the year,  trading revenues and related net interest income
totaled $2.16 billion, a 12 percent increase from 1997.

Investment  banking  fees in the 1998 fourth  quarter  increased to $381 million
from $369 million in the fourth quarter of 1997. Investment banking fees for the
year  rose  32  percent  to  $1.50  billion,  benefiting  from  growth  in  loan
syndications,  mergers and  acquisitions  advisory and high grade and high yield
underwriting fees.

Fourth quarter private equity-related  investment gains were $244 million. These
results were eight  percent  higher than in the year-ago  quarter and four times
above  the  level of gains  recognized  in the third  quarter  1998,  reflecting
improved equity markets and increased levels of activity. Private equity-related
investment gains rose 16 percent to $967 million in 1998.

</TABLE>

National Consumer Services'  operating revenues increased 15 percent in the 1998
fourth quarter;  cash operating  earnings  increased 24 percent.  Cash return on
common equity and SVA rose to record levels,  reversing the trend earlier in the
year, and leading to an overall increase in SVA for 1998. Operating revenues and
cash  operating  earnings  for National  Consumer  Services for the year were 12
percent higher than in 1997.

Operating  revenues from cardmember  services increased 14 percent in the fourth
quarter of 1998,  with growth driven by recently  acquired  portfolios,  pricing
initiatives  and higher  levels of consumer card usage.  For the year,  revenues
rose 17 percent to $3.91 billion;  cash operating earnings were up by 21 percent
to $461 million.  Charge-offs for the year increased,  primarily  reflecting the
impact of acquired portfolios.

Home finance  revenues  increased 29 percent in the fourth  quarter,  benefiting
from the continued favorable environment for mortgage  originations,  and higher
mortgage sales activities.  Home finance revenues were 11 percent higher than in
the prior year; cash operating earnings increased by 16 percent.

Regional  consumer  banking  revenues rose six percent in the fourth  quarter of
1998, reflecting growth in deposits, increased small business lending and rising
fee  income,  offset  in part by the  cost  of  technology-related  investments.
Revenues and cash  operating  earnings for the full year  increased by three and
four percent, respectively, over 1997.

Revenues from diversified  consumer services  increased 31 percent in the fourth
quarter,  driven by continued strong growth in Chase's auto finance,  investment
and  insurance  businesses.  Auto  finance  originations  of $3.5 billion in the
fourth quarter  represent an all-time high.  Revenues from diversified  consumer
services were up 17 percent in 1998 from 1997 levels;  cash  operating  earnings
increased 21 percent.

     (a) Estimated  cross-border  disclosure  is based on the Federal  Financial
     Institutions   Examination   Council   ("FFIEC")guidelines   governing  the
     determination of cross-border  risk. The most  significant  change from the
     prior methodology is the treatment of local country exposure.  Prior period
     amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
     (b) Includes loans and accrued interest,  interest-bearing deposits with
     banks, acceptances,  other monetary  assets,  issued letters of credit and 
     undrawn commitments to extend credit. 
     (c) Includes  cross-border  trading debt and equity   instruments  and 
     local  country  assets,  net  of  local  country liabilities.
     (d) Foreign  exchange largely  represents the  mark-to-market exposure of
     spot and forward contracts.  Derivatives  largely represent the mark-to-
     market  exposure  of risk  management  instruments.  Mark-to-market
     exposure  is a  measure,  at a point in  time,  of the  value of a  foreign
     exchange or derivative  contract in the open market.  The impact of legally
     enforceable  master  netting  agreements  on  these  foreign  exchange  and
     derivative  contracts  reduced  exposure by $17.7  billion at December  31,
     1998, $16.7 billion at September 30, 1998 and $12.7 billion at December 31,
     1997. 
     (e)  Approximately  $1.1  billion (or 60%) of the  exposure to Latin
     America  and $1.3  billion  (or 75%) of the  exposure  to Japan  represents
     resale agreements with investment grade  counterparties  from G-7 (Group of
     7) countries. G-7 countries are the United States, United Kingdom, Germany,
     Japan, Italy,  France, and Canada. 
     (f) Excludes Bermuda and Cayman Islands.
