         At 5:00 p.m. E.T. on December 28, 1994, a Registration Statement on
Form S-4 filed by Fifth Third Bancorp ("Fifth Third"), Registration Statement
No. 33-56975, became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pursuant to such Registration Statement, Fifth Third registered 50,000 shares
of common stock without par value in connection with Fifth Third's acquisition
of Mutual Federal Savings Bank of Miamisburg, A Stock Savings Bank ("Mutual
Federal"), and the subsequent merger of Mutual Federal into The Fifth Third
Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fifth Third.  The exact number of shares to
be issued in connection with this transaction was to be determined in
accordance with an Affiliation Agreement dated as of May 9, 1994 by and between
Fifth Third and Mutual Federal, and an Agreement of Merger dated as of May 9,
1994 by and between The Fifth Third Bank and Mutual Federal, as amended.

         Fifth Third hereby files this Post Effective Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement No. 33-56975 to remove from registration by means of a
post effective amendment 30,562 shares of the securities registered thereunder.
The number of shares of Fifth Third common stock registered under Registration
Statement No. 33-56975 was an estimate of the number of shares necessary to
exchange all of the outstanding shares of Mutual Federal common stock into
shares of Fifth Third common stock.  The exact number of shares of Fifth Third
common stock necessary for such exchange could not be determined at the time of
the filing of the Registration Statement because the exchange ratio was based
upon the market price of Fifth Third common stock for a specific number of days
preceding the closing of the transaction, which could not be determined until a
few days prior to the closing, and thus well after the date of the filing of
the Registration Statement.

         Consequently, Fifth Third hereby deregisters the 30,562 shares of
Fifth Third common stock without par value not issued in connection with the
aforementioned transaction.

                                   SIGNATURES

         In accordance with the provisions of Rule 478 and pursuant to the
terms of Registration Statement No. 33-56975, the undersigned agent and duly
appointed attorney-in-fact has signed the Post Effective Amendment No. 1 to
said Registration Statement on the date and at the place set forth below.
