                Senior Vice President and Secretary
                (518) 381-3611

    For Immediate Release:

    Schenectady, New York -- October 17, 1995


    Today, TrustCo reported record earnings of $6.6 million for
    the third quarter of 1995, up 12 percent from the year ago
    quarter.

    Commenting on the third quarter results was Robert A.
    McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer of TrustCo
    Bank Corp NY. He stated, "This quarter's results were a record
    for the Company.  Our earnings in this quarter were greater
    than in any other quarter in the Company's history.  We have
    achieved growth in net income of 12% over last year and 8%
    over the second quarter of 1995.  I am especially pleased with
    these results in light of our asset growth and increasing
    return on equity during the quarter."

    TrustCo also announced today that its Board of Directors
    declared a cash dividend of $0.275 per share.  The dividend
    will be paid on January 2, 1996 to shareholders of record on
    December 8, 1995.  Commenting on the cash dividend,  Mr.
    McCormick noted, "During the third quarter of this year, the
    Company issued a stock split of 20%.  This quarter we are
    declaring a cash dividend equal to the per share cash dividend
    paid prior to the stock split.  For TrustCo shareholders, the
    combination of those two events represents a cash dividend
    increase of 20%."

    Earnings per share for the third quarter were $0.36, an
    increase of 9% from the third quarter of 1994.  For the nine
    months of 1995, net income was $18.6 million, an increase of
    12% from the same period in 1994, with earnings per share
    totalling $1.03, up 11%.
     The 1995 financial highlights for TrustCo are as follows:

         --   8% increase in assets at September 30, 1995,
              compared to year end 1994,
         --   third quarter efficiency ratio of 42.2% and a year
              to date efficiency ratio of 43.2%,
         --   increase in the allowance for loan losses to $46.8
              million at September 30, 1995 representing 3.86% of
              loans outstanding, and
         --   a return on average equity of 17.6% for the year and
              18.4% for the third quarter.

    The strong performance during the third quarter, and for the
    entire year of 1995, indicates that the Company's goal of an
    18% return on average equity for 1995 is achievable.

    Mr. McCormick also noted,  "The TrustCo branch expansion
    program has taken another step forward during 1995 with the
    opening of our branch at Exit 8 in Clifton Park.  This marks
    the third branch opening during 1995.  Earlier in the year
    branches were opened in  Hudson Falls and Malta Mall.  The
    expansion of our branch network is a critical element in
    planning for the Company's future.  During the remainder of
    1995, we anticipate opening one more branch which will be
    located in Mechanicville.  All told, during 1995, we will have
    expanded our branch network by 10%."

    Asset quality, one of the cornerstones of TrustCo's success,
    remained  strong during 1995.  Total nonperforming loans were
    1.38% of total loans and nonperforming assets are only 0.93%
    of total assets at September 30, 1995.   These percentages are
    well below industry averages for nonperforming loans and
    assets.

    TrustCo increased average interest earning assets by
    approximately $100 million during the third quarter of 1995.
    During that same time period in 1995, the net interest margin
    decreased from 4.21% in the second quarter to 4.04% in the
    third quarter.  The $100 million increase in average earning
    assets, offset by the reduction in net interest margins,
    resulted in third and second quarter taxable equivalent net
    interest income that was almost unchanged.  Commenting on
    this, Mr. McCormick noted, "In 1995 we made a conscious effort
    to expand the TrustCo franchise with new branches and very
    aggressively priced deposit products.  We knew that this
    strategy would reduce  the net interest margins slightly but
    we also knew that our growth would more than offset that
    reduction in margin. The increased asset size will result in
    future increases in income and help us achieve our 1996 goal
    of a 19% return on average equity."

    TrustCo is a $2.1 billion bank holding company and through its
    subsidiary bank, Trustco Bank, National Association, operates
    46 bank offices in Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer,
    Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington counties. In
    addition, the bank operates a full service Trust Department
