For Immediate Release:

Schenectady, New York -- July 18, 1995


TrustCo announced today that its Board of Directors has declared
a stock split wherein each shareholder will receive six shares
of stock for each five shares currently owned.  The additional
common stock will be distributed on August 24, 1995, to
shareholders of record on August 3, 1995.  In addition,  the
Board declared  its intention to maintain the quarterly cash
dividend at $.275 per share after the stock split to be paid on
October 2, 1995 to shareholders of record on September 8, 1995.
The increased cash dividend coupled with the impact of the
stock split will provide a 20% income enhancement to TrustCo
shareholders. The announcement was made by Robert A. McCormick,
President and Chief Executive Officer of TrustCo Bank Corp NY.
Commenting on the increased cash dividend and the six for five
stock split, Mr. McCormick remarked that "For quite some time
it's been the stated intention of TrustCo to return to our
owners any excess of net income over that which is needed to
operate the business.  These actions are totally consistent with
that position.  With this increased dividend our dividend payout
ratio for the year 1995 is anticipated to be approximately 70%."

TrustCo also announced today record second quarter earnings of
$6,106,000 for the second quarter of 1995, which represents an
increase of 11.5% from the year ago quarter.  Second quarter net
income per share was $0.41 for 1995, an increase of 10.8% from
the $0.37 per share earnings in 1994.

For the first six months of 1995 net income per share totalled
$0.80, up 11.1% from the $0.72 reported for the same period in
1994.  Net income for the six month periods were $12,011,000 in
1995 and $10,772,000 in 1994.  The net income results for the
six months of 1995 represent a 11.5% increase over 1994.

The annualized return on average shareholders' equity for the six
month period  was 17.23% in 1995 and 16.35% in 1994.  Mr.
McCormick noted, "The first half results are consistent with our
expectations for 1995 and the attainment of our previously
announced goal of an 18% return on average equity for 1995."
Since 1990, TrustCo has produced a return on average equity of
16.86%.  Commenting on this Mr. McCormick stated, "Our intention
in managing TrustCo is to assure our shareholders of superior
results on their investment over a sustained period of time.  We
are more interested in a longer term record than simply
achieving single year results.   This philosophy is what helps
to distinguish TrustCo from other financial institutions locally
as well as nationally."

Operating efficiencies continued during the second quarter to
reflect the Company's  mission statement as outlined in the 1994
Annual Report:  "TrustCo will be the low cost provider of high
quality services to the customers and communities it serves and
return to its owners an above average return on their
investment."  Financial institutions utilize a measurement
technique called the "Efficiency Ratio" to track the cost of
operating the bank in relation to net interest margins.  In the
June 15, 1995 Equity Research publication of Sandler O Neill,
they indicated that the average efficiency ratio of banks they
track in the same asset size range as TrustCo is 61.0%.  For
the first half of 1995, TrustCo's efficiency ratio was 43.7%.
Commenting on this achievement McCormick noted, "Success in the
future for financial institutions will be measured in terms of
operating efficiencies.  TrustCo's results for the first half of
1995 clearly distinguishes our Bank as a high performer, with
world class operating efficiencies.  No other bank locally, and
only a handful nationally, can achieve the efficiency  ratio
levels that we have."

As a result of new branch facilities in Hudson Falls and Malta,
coupled with TrustCo's aggressive deposit gathering campaigns,
the June 30, 1995 balances of assets and deposits were up 5.6%
and 4.4% over the balances at year end 1994.  Shareholders'
equity has climbed to $147.5 million, and represents a 7.1%
equity to asset ratio.  TrustCo's capital levels and operations
continue to qualify the Bank as a "well capitalized"
institution for regulatory purposes.

Non-performing assets at June 30, 1995, are $17.7 million, a
decrease of $5.6 million from March 31, 1995. The reserve set
aside for problem loans has increased to $43.7 million at June
30, 1995 and represents 3.70% of loans.  The coverage ratio of
the reserve for loan losses to nonperforming loans is 3.3 at
June 30, 1995.

TrustCo is a $2.1 billion bank holding company and through its
subsidiary bank, Trustco Bank, N. A., operates 45 bank offices
in Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady,
Warren and Washington counties. In addition, the bank operates a
full service Trust Department with $698 million of assets under
management.  The common shares of TrustCo are traded on the
NASDAQ National Market System under the ticker symbol TRST.
