NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The accompanying financial statements are unaudited.  However, in the
     opinion of management, they contain the adjustments (all of which are
     normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial
     position and the results of operations.  The notes to the financial
     statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1995 should be read in conjunction with these financial
     statements.  "The Corporation" is defined as parent company only.  "BANC
     ONE" is defined as the Corporation and all significant majority-owned
     subsidiaries.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to
     compare with current presentation.

2.   The provision for income taxes is at a rate which management believes will
     approximate the effective rate for the year.

3.   On January 2, 1996, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding shares
     of Premier Bancorp, Inc. (Premier) of Baton Rouge, Louisiana in exchange
     for 24 million shares of the Corporation's treasury stock (adjusted for
     the 10% common stock dividend paid March 6, 1996 to shareholders of record
     on February 21, 1996) valued at $711 million. The acquisition was
     accounted for as a purchase, and therefore, prior period financial
     statements have not been restated to include Premier.  Premier had assets
     of $6.3 billion at December 31, 1995.

     On March 15, 1996, the Corporation completed the sale of Bank One,
     Pikeville, NA which had assets of $224 million at December 31, 1995,
     resulting in a pretax gain of $8 million.

4.   Mortgage loans held for sale were $747 million, $503 million and $275
     million at March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995,
     respectively.  Such loans are carried at the lower of cost or market
     determined on an aggregate basis.

5.   BANC ONE adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 (SFAS 121),
     "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
     Assets to be Disposed Of" as of January 1, 1996.  The impact on BANC ONE's
     financial position and results of operations is not material.

6.   On February 13, 1996, the Corporation repurchased 15 million shares of
     common stock (16.5 million shares after the 10% stock dividend).  The
     shares were retired and subsequently reissued to pay the 10% stock
     dividend.

     On April 16, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to
     10 million shares of BANC ONE common stock to be used for general
     corporate purposes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements,
notes and tables included elsewhere in this report and in the 1995 BANC ONE
CORPORATION Annual Report on Form 10-K.  BANC ONE cautions that any forward
looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by
reference to this report or made by management of the company involve risks and
uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors.  The
forward looking statements could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME/NET INTEREST MARGIN
BANC ONE's interest income (FTE) increased 14.6% to $2.0 billion and interest
expense increased 10.7% to $.8 billion from first quarter 1995, resulting in a
slight increase in net interest income.  These increases were primarily due to
the acquisition of Premier Bancorp, Inc.  (Premier) on January 2, 1996.  BANC
ONE's financial position and results of operations have not been restated to
include Premier as this acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting.
    Average earning asset balances increased 10.2% to $86.1 billion when
compared to $78.2 billion in the first quarter of 1995.  Premier's first
quarter average earning assets of $5.1 billion contributed to this increase.
The increase in interest income was primarily due to a significant shift in
earning asset mix and earning asset growth.   On books average loans and leases
grew 12.5% to $69.6 billion in 1996 from $61.8 billion in 1995.  Excluding $3.5
billion in first quarter average loans related to the Premier acquisition, the
growth is primarily due to a $2.0 billion increase in credit card loans and
$700 million increase in real estate loans. On-balance sheet loan growth was
funded by an increase in short-term and long-term borrowings, a decrease in
short-term investments and a decrease in investment securities.  Excluding the
$1.6 billion increase in first quarter 1996 of average investment securities
related to the purchase of Premier and the $1.4 billion related to mortgage
loans that were securitized and reclassified to investment securities from
loans during the fourth quarter of 1995, total investment securities decreased
$.9 billion, on average, from the first quarter of 1995.  BANC ONE's net
interest margin in the first quarter of 1996 was also impacted by a lower
contribution from tax refund anticipation loan products, which increased the
margin 10 basis points in first quarter of 1996 compared with 13 basis points
for the same period in 1995.   The decrease in the margin is largely offset by
higher fee income from electronic tax filing programs.
    BANC ONE relies on both traditional bank funding sources and on sales of
loans with servicing retained to fund the origination of earning assets.  Most
of the loan sales during 1996 and 1995 include arrangements whereby BANC ONE
continues to service the loans sold with revenue in excess of net charge-offs
and interest paid to investors recorded as servicing income.  BANC ONE's net
income is not significantly affected by these loan sales; however,
classifications within the income statement have changed.  Net interest income
and provision for credit losses decrease while non-interest income increases
due to these sales.  While these loan sales have included both consumer loans
and credit card receivables (credit card sales) and may in the future include
other types of loans, the most significant impact on BANC ONE's income
statement classifications results from credit card sales.  The following table
presents the impact of credit card sales with servicing retained on income
statement line items and certain other information pertaining to the total
credit card portfolio.

</TABLE>

BANC ONE's retail funding base continued to shift away from relatively low-cost
deposit products (including interest-bearing demand and savings accounts) into
other deposit products offering yields which enabled BANC ONE to compete
effectively against non-bank providers of retail money market investment
products.  The offering of competitively priced products enabled BANC ONE to
avoid runoff of its retail funding base during the first quarter of 1996 and
ensured continued access to retail funds at rates which remained below large
liability funding cost.

BANC ONE's policy is to manage interest rate risk to a level which places
narrow limits on the sensitivity of its earnings to changes in market interest
rates.  Various capital markets transactions were executed in both 1994 and
1995 to ensure that interest rate risk remains within policy limits.
Consequently, the significant changes in market interest rates which occurred
in 1995 and 1996 did not significantly impact net interest income.  An
explanation of the asset-liability management process is found beginning on
page 17 and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1995 beginning on page 34.

Off-balance sheet investment products, primarily interest rate swaps, decreased
interest income by $20 million in the first quarter of 1996 compared with $33
million in the first quarter of 1995.  Off-balance sheet investment products
increased deposit and other borrowing costs by $.5 million in the first quarter
of 1996 and $20 million during the first quarter of 1995.  In the current rate
environment, it is anticipated that these off-balance sheet products will
continue to reduce yields on interest earning assets and increase interest
rates on interest bearing liabilities in the future.

The increase in service charges on deposit accounts for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 is due mainly to a $13 million increase related to the
acquisition of Premier, an $11 million increase in overdraft fees due to an
increase in the per occurrence fee in second quarter 1995 and an overall
increase in demand deposit account volume.

The majority of the increase in mortgage banking income for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 is a result of higher origination volume due to higher
loan demand generated by lower interest rates.

The shift from credit card and merchant processing fees to loan servicing
income in first quarter 1996 is primarily attributable to sales of credit card
loans with servicing retained in second and third quarter 1995 totalling $.8
billion.  Also contributing to the increase in loan servicing income was a
consumer loan sale of $1.2 billion in April 1995.  The increase in insurance
income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is primarily due to $7 million
of commissions earned in first quarter 1996 as a result of an annuity product
sales campaign which began in fourth quarter 1995.

The increase in income from securities-related activities for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 is primarily attributable to increased mutual fund sales
volume as a result of a sales campaign which began in fourth quarter 1995.

Other non-interest income decreased $1 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to the same quarter in 1995.  The decrease is attributable to $29
million of gains recognized in 1995, while only $28 million was recognized in
1996. This $28 million is composed of an $8 million gain recognized on the sale
of Bank One Pikeville, NA, a $14 million gain on sale of loans, branches, and
other assets, a $3 million joint venture gain, and a $3 million increase
related to the acquisition of Premier and other transactions.

Salaries and related costs increased for the three months ended March 31,
1996 due primarily to $26 million related to the acquisition of Premier,
$7 million related to headcount resulting from growth in non-bank
businesses and data processing support personnel, $10 million related to
new incentive programs started in 1996,  $5 million in benefit accruals in
1996 due to higher company matching contributions based on expected higher
earnings and higher pension costs due to lower interest rates, and $4
million in commission expense resulting from increased securities-related
and investment banking activities in 1996.

As a result of the Premier acquisition, $238 million of goodwill and $58
million of other intangibles were recorded during first quarter 1996.  This
resulted in an increase in amortization expense of $7 million.
Amortization expense for the full year of 1996 is expected to increase $28
million due to these new intangible assets.  The Premier acquisition also
resulted in an increase in depreciation of bank premises and equipment of
$4 million.

Outside services and processing increased for the three months ended March
31, 1996 due to $3 million of expense related to the Premier acquisition,
an increase in consulting of $7 million primarily related to the
consolidation and standardization efforts across BANC ONE in 1996, a $5
million increase in temporary employees as a result of consolidation and
standardization efforts, and an increase in outside legal fees of $2
million.  The scope of the consolidation and standardization project has
been expanded which has resulted in costs being higher in 1996 than
originally anticipated.  It is anticipated that expenses related to the
consolidation and standardization efforts will continue to be incurred
before the benefits of this effort are realized.

Communication and transportation increased for the three months ended March
31, 1996 due to $3 million of expense related to the Premier acquisition,
$3 million of expense incurred in 1996 related to consolidation and
standardization efforts, a $1 million increase in general telephone
charges, and a $3 million increase in general business travel to support
the emerging national line of business management.  The increases above are
offset by a reduction in credit card solicitation expense of $3 million in
1996.  The remaining increase is a result of increased usage of data
transmission and computer/communications technology.

FDIC insurance expense decreased $32 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as a result of the FDIC's decision to lower deposit
insurance premiums from $.23 per $100 in Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) deposits
to a $2,000 per bank minimum assessment for well capitalized and well
managed banks.  At March 31, 1996, BANC ONE's affiliate banks held
approximately $6 billion of deposits insured by the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF).  Deposit insurance premiums continue to be charged
on SAIF insured deposits at $.23 per $100 in deposits.

Other non-interest expense increased $13 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  Contributing to the increase were $4 million related to
the Premier acquisition and a $2 million overall increase in supplies.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes was 33.0% of pretax income for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 35.8% of pretax income for the
same period in 1995.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 approximates the anticipated effective tax rate for the
year.  The decrease in the effective rate from first quarter 1995 is a
result of BANC ONE's reorganization efforts which resulted in a reduction
of state income taxes in 1996 and a reduction in federal income tax
reserves relating to agreements reached with the Internal Revenue Service
in 1996.

</TABLE>

The $3.9 billion increase in ending loans and leases from December 31, 1995 is
primarily due to a $3.3 billion increase related to the acquisition of
Premier.   For a more detailed analysis refer to the Average Balances, Income
and Expense, Yields and Rates found on page 9.   Also, refer to the table
on page 11 which provides certain information on managed credit card loans.
BANC ONE experienced loan growth primarily in credit card and consumer loans.
Significant origination activity is not fully reflected in ending loan balances
due to the following sales and securitizations of loans during the first
quarter of 1996:

- -      Consumer loan sales of $ .5 billion
- -      Credit card loan sales of $1 billion

BANC ONE's process for monitoring loan quality includes detailed, monthly
analysis of delinquencies, nonperforming assets and potential problem loans
from each affiliate bank.  Management extensively monitors credit, including
appraisals, assessing the financial condition of borrowers, restrictions on
out-of-area lending and avoidance of loan concentrations.

The following summarizes the activity in nonaccrual loans and OREO for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.

</TABLE>

Excluding $46 million related to Premier, total nonperforming assets at March
31, 1996 have increased slightly from December 31, 1995.  This increase is
primarily in non-accrual loans.  Loans delinquent 90 days or more  have
decreased slightly for the same period.  The increase in net charge-offs has
been driven by the deterioration of consumer credit experienced by BANC ONE and
the banking industry as well as the decline in commercial loan recoveries.  The
consumer credit deterioration is evident in the statistics shown above for
consumer loans and credit cards and is expected to continue throughout 1996.

The increase in the provision for credit losses is primarily due to loan growth
as well as an increase to provide coverage of increasing net charge-offs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

At March 31, 1996, large liability dependence was 18.58%, an increase from
17.30% at December 31, 1995.   BANC ONE's policy is that the large liabilities
position be no greater than 30% of net earning assets.  In practice, BANC ONE
manages the position at much lower levels as summarized below.

</TABLE>

Competition from non-bank investment providers continues to impact BANC ONE's
deposit gathering and retention efforts.  During the first quarter of 1996,
deposit runoff was minimal, but the deposit mix continued to shift to more
costly market priced products.  This mix change is expected to continue for the
foreseeable future.  The competitive environment for retail and commercial bank
deposits continues to cause BANC ONE to look to non-traditional bank sources to
fund its earning asset growth.  BANC ONE's large liability dependence increased
due to an increase in repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings
which were used to fund loan growth.   During the first quarter 1996, $ 500
million of auto loans and $1 billion of credit card receivables were sold.
Loan sales such as these are expected to continue to generate funding for loan
growth and to mitigate the need to increase large liabilities.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation repurchased 15 million common
shares (16.5 million after the 10% stock split) for $593 million.  In the
second quarter of 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up
to 10 million common shares to be used for general corporate purposes.  Stock
repurchase transactions may increase BANC ONE's reliance on large liabilities.

BANC ONE has long had a policy of maintaining superior capital ratios.  BANC
ONE's policies require it to maintain, at a minimum, a capital position that
meets the federal regulators "well capitalized" classification.  At March 31,
1996, risk based tier I capital, total risk adjusted capital and leverage
ratios were 9.57%, 13.44% and 8.24%, respectively.  All of these ratios are
significantly above regulatory minimum capital requirements.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

BANC ONE uses a unified approach to management of liquidity, capital and
interest rate risk through its Asset and Liability Management (ALM) process.
The key elements of the ALM process are discussed in further detail on pages 34
through 39 of BANC ONE CORPORATION's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The
management of interest rate risk in the ALM process can be broken down into
three components; earnings sensitivity risk (ESR), basis risk and economic
value at risk (EVAR).

ESR is defined as the percentage change in forecasted earnings over a 12 month
period for a specified gradual change in forecasted interest rates.  BANC ONE
measures ESR by determining how earnings from existing assets and liabilities
would change if interest rates changed.  The following table reflects ESR at
March 31, 1996 for gradual rate changes (i.e. .25% per quarter for a 1% annual
rate movement).

<TABLE>

         +1%                                                               (1.30)%
         -1%                                                               ( .50)%
         -2%                                                               (1.90)%
</TABLE>


Basis risk is the risk of changing spreads between certain categories of
indexed assets and liabilities.  The primary risk faced by BANC ONE is the risk
that the spread between Prime loan rates and short-term funding rates will
narrow.  An immediate decline of 10 basis points in the spread between Prime
and Fed Funds and Prime and LIBOR, lasting a full year would cause projected
earnings to decline by .7%.

EVAR is defined as the percentage change in economic value of future earnings
for a specified immediate change in rates.  EVAR is an indicator of the
sensitivity of longer term earnings to interest rates.  BANC ONE measures EVAR
by determining a baseline gauge of the economic value of future earnings to be
derived from the current balance sheet and then calculates the percentage
change in that value for given changes in rates.  The following table reflects
EVAR at March 31, 1996 for 1% and 2% immediate changes in rates.

         +1%                                                                 ( .50)%
         -1%                                                                 (3.10)%
         -2%                                                                 (8.30)%
</TABLE>



Major assumptions used in measuring interest rate risk include the behavior of
loan and deposit repricings and volumes, prepayments on various fixed rate
assets, and spread and volume elasticity of interest and non-interest bearing
deposit accounts which may not have contractually defined maturities.  A
significant portion of consumer deposits do not reprice or mature on a
contractual basis.

Banc One uses both on-balance and off-balance sheet investments products to
manage interest rate risk.  The off-balance sheet investment products utilized
are primarily interest rate swaps.  Interest rate swap agreements involve the
exchange of interest payments without the exchange of the underlying notional
amount on which the interest payments are calculated.  BANC ONE has entered
into interest rate swap agreements that synthetically alter assets and
liabilities as part of its ALM process to manage the impact of fluctuating
interest rates.

Following are the estimated fair value and amortized cost of securities by type
and the estimated maturities and weighted average fixed rates of off-balance
sheet investment products by type.  A key assumption in the maturity
information below is that future variable rates move as indicated by the
forward interest rate curve in existence at March 31, 1996.  To the extent that
the interest rates move in a fashion other than indicated in the forward
interest rate curve the maturity information will change.

BANC ONE CORPORATION's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10K provided certain fair
value information based on interest rates at December 31, 1995. Since that date,
long-term market interest rates have increased and, as a result, the fair value
of fixed rate liabilities has become more favorable and the value of certain
loan products less favorable. The net change is not material.
