SUMMARY OF CONTENTS

Listed below is a summary of items you should consider in
evaluating the certificate.  These items are discussed in more
detail elsewhere in the prospectus as indicated.

About the Series D-1 Investment Certificate

Investment Amounts and Interest Rates - The Series D-1 certificate
is purchased by the trustee or custodian (page 8) at the direction
of Plan participants or IRA owners using contributions to a Plan or
IRA or by affiliated companies of IDSC.  IDSC will pay the trustee
or custodian at maturity the face amount plus earned interest. 
Interest rates are declared each calendar quarter beginning on Jan.
1, April 1, July 1, and Oct. 1.  The rate for the first calendar
quarter will be within a specified range of an average 12-month
certificate of deposit rate as published in the BANK RATE MONITOR
National IndexTM N. Palm Beach, FL 33408.  Future interest rates
are at the discretion of IDSC (page 5).

Determining the Face Amount and Principal of the Series D-1
Investment Certificate - The face amount of the certificate is the
total amount invested.  The principal is the total investment plus
interest compounded monthly over the 20-year life of the
certificate, less withdrawals (page 6).

Value at Maturity Will Exceed Face Amount - We guarantee the rate
of interest on the Series D-1 certificate for each calendar
quarter.  Due to interest received, the value at maturity of a
certificate held to maturity will exceed the face amount of the
certificate (page 6).

Earning Interest - Interest accrues and is credited daily and will
be compounded at the end of each calendar month (page 6). 

Using the Series D-1 Investment Certificate
   
Contributions to the Certificate - Instructions to Plan
participants on how to direct contributions to the Series D-1
certificate may be obtained through the appropriate Plan
Administrator or, for IRAs, from your financial advisor or your
local American Express Financial Advisors office or by writing to
American Express Financial Advisors Inc., IDS Tower 10,
Minneapolis, MN 55440-0534 or by calling 1-800-437-3463.  The <PAGE>
PAGE 7
Series D-1 certificate is offered only to eligible participants in
connection with the IDS Retirement Plan, the CDRP, the IDS DVP
Retirement Plan, the IDS Mutual Funds Profit Sharing Plan, IRAs of
persons who retire as full-time AEFC employees, financial advisors
or district managers and to affiliated companies of IDSC (page 7).
    
Other IRAs or 401(k) Plan Accounts and Other Qualified Retirement
Accounts - When a participant takes a qualifying distribution from
a plan qualified under Internal Revenue Code 401(a), the
participant's Series D-1 certificate plan account may be rolled
over into an IRA or other qualified retirement plan account where
allowed by a Plan (page 7).  The Career Distributors' Retirement
Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. 

Receiving Cash - A participant in a Plan (other than CDRP) or an
IRA owner may receive cash after taking an "in kind" distribution
of his or her Series D-1 certificate plan account or IRA, subject
to federal tax laws and the terms of the payout options (page 8).
                                                                    
At Maturity - If the Series D-1 certificate is held to maturity
following an "in kind" distribution, a check for the principal will
be sent.  Payout options also are available (page 9).

Transferring the Series D-1 Certificate Ownership - While the
Series D-1 certificate is not negotiable, under limited
circumstances it can, if eligible, be transferred to a qualified
plan or IRA trustee or custodian upon written request (page 10).

Giving Us Instructions - All instructions to us must be in proper
written form (page 10).

ABOUT THE SERIES D-1 INVESTMENT CERTIFICATE

Investment Amounts and Interest Rates

The Series D-1 Certificate is a security purchased with single or
multiple payments.  The amount that can be invested is determined
by the provisions of the Plans and applicable tax laws.  A
participant's Plan investment is the dollar amount or its
equivalent percentage contributions directed to the participant's
Plan account.  The interest rate applied to the investment is the
quarterly rate then in effect.  Investments earn interest from the
date IDSC accepts each Plan contribution or IRA contribution.

Interest on the Series D-1 certificate is guaranteed for each
calendar quarter.  The rate paid will not change during a quarter. 
A calendar quarter begins each Jan. 1, April 1, July 1, or Oct. 1. 
IDSC guarantees that when rates for new purchases take effect, the
rate will be within a range from 75 to 175 basis points above the
average interest rate then published for 12-month certificates of
deposit in the BANK RATE MONITOR National IndexTM, N. Palm Beach,
FL 33408.  For example, if the rate published for a given week in
the BANK RATE MONITOR National IndexTM, N. Palm Beach, FL 33408 for
12-month certificates is 3.25 percent, IDSC's rate in effect for
new purchases would be between 4 percent and 5 percent.

Interest rates may differ for investments of more than $1 million
in one or more Series D-1 Certificates by any affiliated company of
IDSC.  When rates for new purchases by any such company take <PAGE>
PAGE 9
effect, the rate will be within a range from 20 basis points below
to 80 basis points above the average interest rate then published
for 12-month certificates of deposit in the BANK RATE MONITOR
National IndexTM, N. Palm Beach, FL 33408.

The BANK RATE MONITOR National IndexTM, N. Palm Beach, FL 33408 is
an index of rates and annual effective yields offered on various
length certificates of deposit by large banks and thrifts in large
metropolitan areas.  The frequency of compounding varies among the
banks and thrifts.  

Certificates of deposit in the BANK RATE MONITOR National IndexTM,
N. Palm Beach, FL 33408 are government-insured fixed-rate time
deposits.  The BANK RATE MONITOR National IndexTM, N. Palm Beach,
FL  33408 is published in the BANK RATE MONITOR, a weekly magazine
published in N. Palm Beach, FL, by Advertising News Service Inc.,
an independent national news organization that collects and
disseminates information about bank products and interest rates. 
It is not affiliated with IDSC, AEFC, or any of their affiliates.

The publisher of the BANK RATE MONITOR distributes to national and
broadcast news media on a regular weekly basis its current index
rates for various terms of certificates of deposit of banks and
thrifts. 
   
The BANK RATE MONITOR periodical may be available in your local
library.  To obtain information on the current BANK RATE MONITOR
Top Market AverageTM rates, call the Client Service Organization at
the telephone numbers listed on the back cover between 8 a.m. and 6
p.m. your local time.
    
Interest is credited to the certificate daily. The rate in effect
on the day the contribution is accepted in Minneapolis will apply
to the certificate.  The interest rate shown on the front of this
prospectus may or may not be in effect on the date a participant's
contribution is accepted.

Interest for future calendar quarters may be greater or less than
the rates for the first quarter.  The then prevailing investment
climate, including 12-month average certificate of deposit
effective yields as reflected in the BANK RATE MONITOR National
IndexTM, N. Palm Beach, FL 33408, will be a primary consideration
in deciding future rates.  Nevertheless, IDSC has complete
discretion as to what interest it will declare beyond the initial
quarter.

Any investments rolled over from the Series D-1 certificate to an
IRA or 401(k) plan account or other qualified retirement account
will be subject to the limits and provisions of that account or
plan and applicable tax laws.

Determining the Face Amount and Principal of the Series D-1
Investment Certificate

The face amount is the amount of the initial investment in the
Series D-1 certificate.  At the beginning of each quarter, all
interest previously credited to a Series D-1 certificate and not
withdrawn will become part of its principal.  For example: if the
initial investment in a certificate was $100,000, the face amount<PAGE>
PAGE 10
would be $100,000.  If the certificate earns $1,000 in interest
during a quarter and it is not withdrawn, the principal for the
next quarter will be $101,000.  Your principal is guaranteed by
IDSC.
   
Value at Maturity Will Exceed Face-Amount
The Series D-1 certificate matures in 20 years except as provided
in "receiving cash" under "Using the Series D-1 Investment
Certificate."  A certificate held to maturity will have had
interest declared each quarter over its life.  Interest once
declared for the quarter will not be reduced.  The value at
maturity will exceed the face amount.
    
Earning Interest

Interest is accrued and credited daily on the Series D-1
certificate.  If a withdrawal is made during a month, interest will
be paid to the date of the withdrawal.  Interest is compounded at
the end of each calendar month.  The amount of interest earned each
month is determined by applying the daily interest rate then in
effect to the daily balance of the Series D-1 certificate. 
Interest is calculated on a 360-day year basis.

USING THE SERIES D-1 INVESTMENT CERTIFICATE

Contributions to the Series D-1 Investment Certificate

A contribution will be made to the Series D-1 Certificate by the
Plan sponsor as directed by the participant.  Instructions to Plan
participants on how to direct Plan contributions to a Series D-1
certificate may be obtained from the appropriate Plan
Administrator.  The amount of contributions made on behalf of a
participant or AEFC will be limited by the terms of the Plan and
applicable tax laws.

Any additional contributions in a Plan or IRA made on behalf of
participants or investors who already have a beneficial interest in
or related to an IDS Series D-1 Investment Certificate in the same
Plan or IRA will be added directly to that certificate, rather than
invested in a new certificate.
   
The Series D-1 certificate is offered only in connection with the
IDS Retirement Plan, the Career Distributors' Retirement Plan, the
IDS DVP Retirement Plan, the IDS Mutual Funds Profit Sharing Plan,
and the IRAs of persons who retire as full-time employees,
financial advisors or district managers of AEFC, its subsidiary 
companies, and the IDS MUTUAL FUND GROUP and to affiliated
companies of IDSC.  These Plans are for the exclusive benefit of
eligible employees and financial advisors of AEFC and its
subsidiary companies and the IDS MUTUAL FUND GROUP.  Any Series D-1
certificate issued will be owned by and issued in the name of the
trustee or custodian of the IRA or Plan except that a certificate
issued in conjunction with CDRP will be issued in the name of AEFC.
    

<PAGE>
PAGE 11
Participating employees and advisors have a beneficial interest in
or related to the applicable Series D-1 certificates but are not
the direct owners.  The terms of a Plan, as interpreted by the
applicable Plan trustee, or AEFC in the case of CDRP, will
determine how a participant's individual account is administered. 
These terms will likely differ in some aspects from those of the
Series D-1 certificate.  The custodian or trustee may change the
ownership of any Series D-1 certificate issued to a participant in
a Plan in connection with an "in kind" distribution of benefits
from a Plan as described below.  Any new custodian or trustee,
including any IRA custodian, will be responsible for contacting us
to change ownership.

Other IRAs or 401(k) Plan Accounts and Other Qualified Retirement
Accounts

Unless prohibited by your Plan, any Series D-1 certificate proceeds
distributed to an eligible participant in a qualifying
distribution, may be invested in an IRA or qualified retirement
plan.  Transfer of proceeds of the Series D-1 certificate to an
IRA, or 401(k) plan account or other qualified retirement plan
account will be limited by Plan provisions and applicable federal
law.  Federal tax laws may affect your ability to invest in certain
types of retirement accounts.  You may wish to consult your tax
advisor or your local American Express Tax and Business Services
tax professional, where available, for further information.

In addition, under limited circumstances a Series D-1 certificate
may be transferred "in kind" to an IRA or qualified retirement
account.  An "in kind" distribution will not reduce or extend the
certificate's maturity.  If an "in kind" transfer is made, the
terms and conditions of the Series D-1 certificate apply to the IRA
or qualified retirement account as the holder of the certificate. 
The terms of the Plan, as interpreted by the Plan trustee or
administrator, will determine how a participant's individual
account with the Plan is administered.  These terms may differ from
the terms of the certificate.  A Series D-1 certificate may only be
distributed "in kind" to an IRA or other qualified retirement
account.  If you make a withdrawal from a qualified retirement plan
or IRA prior to age 59 1/2, you may be required to pay federal
early distribution penalty tax.

IDSC will withhold federal income taxes of 10% on IRA withdrawals
unless you tell us not to.  IDSC is required to withhold federal
income taxes of 20% on most qualified plan distributions, unless
the distribution is directly rolled over to another qualified plan
or IRA.  See your tax adviser to see how these rules apply to you
before you request a distribution from your plan or IRA.

Receiving Cash 

The following sections briefly describe the limitations upon a
participant's ability to withdraw cash from the Series D-1
certificate.  Any such withdrawal could take place after the
participant has taken an "in kind" distribution of the Series D-1
certificate.
<PAGE>
PAGE 12
Federal Tax Limitations - The following briefly discusses certain
federal tax limitations on a participant's ability to take "in
kind" distributions.  You may wish to consult your tax adviser or
your local American Express Tax and Business Services tax

If a Series D-1 certificate is distributed to the beneficial owner
by the trustee or custodian of a plan qualified under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 then, unless otherwise
elected by the trustee or custodian on a form satisfactory to IDSC:

1)   the maturity date will be no later than the end of the taxable
     year in which the later of the following occurs:
     a)   the beneficial owner attains age 70 1/2; or
     b)   distribution of the Series D-1 certificate is made to the
          beneficial owner; and

2)   the total value of the Series D-1 certificate will be paid out
     in equal or substantially equal monthly, quarterly, semiannual
     or annual payments over a specified period of time which does
     not extend beyond the life expectancy (determined as of the
     maturity date) or the joint and survivor life expectancy of
     the beneficial owner and his/her spouse.

If the Series D-1 certificate is issued in connection with an
Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other qualified Plan, (1)
the owner must elect a maturity date which is no later than the
taxable year in which he or she attains age 70 1/2, and (2) the
total value of the Series D-1 certificate will be paid out in equal
or substantially equal monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual
payments over a specified period of time which does not extend
beyond the owner's life expectancy (determined as of the end of the
taxable year in which the owner attains age 70 1/2) or the joint
and survivor life expectancy of the owner and his/her spouse.

Except as noted above, each of the payout options described is
subject to the following general provisions governing payout
options.

     'All election(s) must be made by written notice in a form
     acceptable by IDSC.  The election(s) will become effective on
     the date(s) chosen.

     'No election(s) can be made that will require IDSC to make any
     payment later than 30 years from the date elected; and make
     any term or periodic interest payment of less than $50.

     'After the date of the elected payout option, the owner may
     elect to receive all or part of the balance left under a
     payout option.  If done only in part, the balance may be left
     under the elected option.

Payout Options - Any time after the issue date of the Series D-1
certificate if an "in kind" distribution has occurred, including at
the time of maturity, a payout option may be elected for all or any
part of a Plan investment.  The payout options are described below. 
<PAGE>
PAGE 13
Payout options may be changed.  The balance remaining in the
certificate will continue to accrue interest at the then current
rate; the amount transferred to an option will continue to accrue
interest at the then current option rate.  The maturity date of the
balance will not be affected.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
the payout options herein described, tax laws in effect at the time
a payout option is selected and plan provisions may limit the
availability of the option.

Withdrawals - Withdrawals can be made from the certificate.  To do
so, a request must be submitted in a form acceptable to IDSC at the
address or phone number on the cover of this prospectus.  If
proceeds from a full or partial surrender are received directly by
a participant and are not transferred to a trustee or custodian of
a qualified retirement plan, the participant may be penalized by
the IRS for this may be considered an early withdrawal.

Installment Payments - Installment payments of $50 or more may be
elected.  The payment periods designated may be monthly, quarterly,
semiannually or annually over a period of more than two years but
less than thirty years, but also cannot exceed that permitted under
federal tax law.  Payments will begin one payment period after the
effective date of the payout option.  Depending on the size of the
payment selected, these payments may include both principal and
interest.

Periodic Interest Payments - Combined interest on the Series D-1
certificate may be paid in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual
payments of more than two years but less than thirty years provided
the payments are at least $50.  The time period selected cannot
exceed that permitted under federal tax law.

Deferred Interest - At maturity or after any installment or
periodic interest payout plan has begun, all or part of the Series
D-1 certificate may be left with IDSC to continue to earn interest
for an additional period of years.  The additional years elected
may not exceed the earlier of thirty years from the date of
maturity or date on which the participant reaches age 70 1/2.

At its option, IDSC may defer for not more than thirty days any
payment to which the participant may become entitled prior to the
Series D-1 certificate's maturity.  IDSC will pay interest on the
amount deferred at the rate used in accumulating the reserves for
the Series D-1 certificate for any period of deferment.  Any
payment by us also may be subject to other deferment as provided by
the rules, regulations or orders made by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

At Maturity

If an "in kind" distribution has been taken, at the Series D-1
certificate's maturity, a check will be sent for the remaining
value of the certificate.  Instead of receiving cash, the Deferred
Interest Option, or one of the payout options explained above may
be selected.

<PAGE>
PAGE 14
Transferring Series D-1 Investment Certificate Ownership

When the Series D-1 certificate is owned by a trustee or custodian
of a Plan or IRA, the trustee or custodian may request a transfer
of the ownership of the Series D-1 certificate on the books of
IDSC.  A transfer request must be in a form acceptable to the Plan
or the IRA custodian and to IDSC and received at IDSC's home
office.  

Giving Us Instructions
   
We must receive proper notice in writing or by telephone of any
instructions regarding a certificate.
    
Proper written notice must:

'be addressed to our home office,

'include sufficient information for us to carry out the request,
and

'be signed and dated by all participant(s).

All amounts payable by us in connection with the Series D-1
certificate are payable at our home office unless we advise
otherwise.
   
To give us instructions by telephone, call the Client Service
Organization at the telephone numbers listed on the back cover
between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. your local time.
    
INCOME AND TAXES

Tax Treatment of This Investment

Interest paid to the Series D-1 certificate is generally not
taxable until a participant begins to make withdrawals.  For
further discussion of certain federal tax limitations, see page 9.

Rules regarding Plan distributions and other aspects of the Series
D-1 certificate are complicated.  We recommend that participants
consult their own tax advisor or local American Express Tax and
Business Services tax professional, where available, to determine
how the rules may apply to their individual situation.

Withholding Taxes

According to federal tax laws, you must provide us with your
correct certified taxpayer identification number.  This number is
your Social Security number.  If you do not provide this number, we
may be required to withhold a portion of your interest income and
certain other payments, including distributions from a retirement
account or qualified plan.  Be sure your correct taxpayer
identification number is provided.

If you supply an incorrect taxpayer identification number, the IRS
may assess a $50 penalty against you.

How your money is used and protected

Invested and guaranteed by IDSC
   
The IDS Series D-1 Certificate is issued and guaranteed by IDSC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of AEFC.  We are by far the largest issuer
of face amount certificates in the United States, with total assets
of more than $3.9 billion and a net worth in excess of $250 million
on Dec. 31, 1995.
    
We back our certificates by investing the money received and
keeping the invested assets on deposit.  Our investments generate
interest and dividends, out of which we pay:
o    interest to certificate holders
o    various expenses, including taxes, fees to AEFC for advisory
     and other services and distribution fees to American Express
     Financial Advisors Inc.

For a review of significant events relating to our business, see
"Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations."  Our certificates are not rated by a
national rating agency.

Most banks and thrifts offer investments known as certificates of
deposit that are similar to our certificates in many ways.  Banks
and thrifts generally have federal deposit insurance for their
deposits and lend much of the deposited money to individuals,
businesses and other enterprises.  Other financial institutions may
offer investments with comparable combinations of safety and return
on investment.

Regulated by government

Because the IDS Series D-1 Certificate is a security, its offer and
sale are subject to regulation under federal and state securities
laws.  (It is a face amount certificate -- not a bank product, an
equity investment, a form of life insurance or an investment
trust.)
   
The federal Investment Company Act of 1940 requires us to keep
investments on deposit in a segregated custodial account to protect
all of our outstanding certificates.  These investments back the
entire value of your certificate account.  Their amortized cost
must exceed the required carrying value of the outstanding
certificates by at least $250,000.  As of Dec. 31, 1995, the
amortized cost of these investments exceeded the required carrying
value of our outstanding certificates by more than $129 million.

Backed by our investments

Our investments are varied and of high quality.  This was the
composition of our portfolio as of Dec. 31, 1995:

38% government agency bonds
34  corporate and other bonds
17  preferred stocks
 6  mortgages
<PAGE>
PAGE 16
 3  municipal bonds
 2  cash and cash equivalents

More than 96% of our securities portfolio (bonds and preferred
stocks) is rated investment grade.  For additional information
regarding securities ratings, please refer to Note 3B in the
Financial Statements.

Most of our investments are on deposit with American Express Trust
Company (formerly IDS Trust Company), Minneapolis, although we also
maintain separate deposits as required by certain states.  American
Express Trust Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEFC.  Copies
of our Dec. 31, 1995 schedule of Investments in Securities of
Unaffiliated Issuers are available upon request.  For comments
regarding the valuation, carrying values and unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities, see Notes 1,
2 and 3 to the Financial Statements.
    
Investment policies

In deciding how to diversify the portfolio -- among what types of
investments in what amounts -- the officers and directors of IDSC
use their best judgment, subject to applicable law.  The following
policies currently govern our investment decisions:

Purchasing securities on margin:  We will not purchase any
securities on margin or participate on a joint basis or a joint-
and-several basis in any trading account in securities.

Commodities:  We have not and do not intend to purchase or sell
commodities or commodity contracts.

Underwriting:  We do not intend to engage in the public
distribution of securities issued by others.  However, if we
purchase unregistered securities and later resell them, we may be
considered an underwriter under federal securities laws.

Borrowing money:  From time to time we have established a line of
credit if management believed borrowing was necessary or desirable. 
While a line of credit does not currently exist, it may be
established again in the future.  We may pledge some of our assets
as security.  We may occasionally use repurchase agreements as a
way to borrow money.  Under these agreements, we sell debt
securities to our lender, and repurchase them at the sales price
plus an agreed-upon interest rate within a specified period of
time.

Real estate:  We may invest directly in real estate, though we have
not generally done so in the past.  We do invest in mortgage loans.

Lending securities:  We may lend some of our securities to broker-
dealers and receive cash equal to the market value of the
securities as collateral.  We invest this cash in short-term
securities.  If the market value of the securities goes up, the
borrower pays us additional cash.  During the course of the loan, <PAGE>
PAGE 17
the borrower makes cash payments to us equal to all interest,
dividends and other distributions paid on the loaned securities. 
We will try to vote these securities if a major event affecting our
investment is under consideration.
   
When-issued securities:  Most of our investments are in debt
securities, some of which are purchased on a when-issued basis.  It
may take as long as 45 days or more before these securities are
issued and delivered to us.  We generally do not pay for these
securities or start earning on them until delivery.  We have
established procedures to ensure that sufficient cash is available
to meet when-issued commitments  When-issued securities are subject
to market fluctuation and they may affect IDSC's investment
portfolio the same as owned securities.

Financials transactions:  We buy or sell various types of options
contracts for hedging purposes or as a trading technique to
facilitate securities purchases or sales.  We buy interest rate
caps for hedging purposes.  These pay us a return if interest rates
rise above a specified level.  IDSC may enter into other financial
transactions, including futures and other derivatives, for the
purpose of managing the interest rate exposures associated with
IDSC's assets or liabilities.  Derivatives are financial
instruments whose performance is derived, at least in part, from
the performance of an underlying asset, security or index.  A small
change in the value of the underlying asset, security or index may
cause a sizable gain or loss in the fair value of the derivative.

Illiquid securities:  A security is illiquid if it cannot be sold
in the normal course of business within seven days at approximately
its current market value.  Some investments cannot be resold to the
U.S. public because of their terms or government regulations.  All
securities, however can be sold in private sales, and many may be
sold to other institutions and qualified buyers or on foreign
markets.  IDSC's investment advisor will follow guidelines
established by the board and consider relevant factors such as the
nature of the security and the number of likely buyers when
determining whether a security is illiquid.  No more than 15% of
IDSC's investment portfolio will be held in securities that are
illiquid.  In valuing its investment portfolio to determine this
15% limit, IDSC will use statutory accounting under an SEC order. 
This means that, for this purpose, the portfolio will be valued in
accordance with applicable Minnesota law governing investments of
life insurance companies, rather than generally accepted accounting
principles.
    
Restrictions:  There are no restrictions on concentration of
investments in any particular industry or group of industries or on
rates of portfolio turnover.

How your certificate is managed

Relationship between IDSC and American Express Financial
Corporation

IDSC was originally organized as Investors Syndicate of America,
Inc., a Minnesota corporation, on Oct. 15, 1940, and began business
as an issuer of face amount investment certificates on Jan. 1,<PAGE>
PAGE 18
1941.  The company became a Delaware corporation on Dec. 31, 1977,
and changed its name to IDS Certificate Company on April 2, 1984.
Before IDSC was created, AEFC, our parent company and organizer,
had issued similar certificates since 1894.  IDSC and AEFC have
never failed to meet their certificate payments.
   
During its many years in operation, AEFC has become a leading
manager of investments in mortgages and securities.  As of Dec. 31,
1995, AEFC managed investments, including its own, of more than
$129 billion.  A wholly owned subsidiary, American Express
Financial Advisors provides a broad range of financial planning
services for individuals and businesses through its nationwide
network of more than 175 offices and more than 7800 financial
advisors.  American Express Financial Advisors' financial planning
services are comprehensive, beginning with a detailed written
analysis that's tailored to your needs.  Your analysis may address
one of all of these six essential areas:  financial position,
protection planning, investment planning, income tax planning,
retirement planning and estate planning.
    
American Express Financial Advisors itself is a wholly owned
subsidiary of American Express, a financial services company with
executive offices at American Express Tower, World Financial
Center, New York, NY 10285.

American Express Financial Advisors Inc. is not a bank, and the
securities offered by it, such as face amount certificates issued
by IDSC, are not backed or guaranteed by any bank, nor are they
insured by the FDIC.

Capital structure and certificates issued

IDSC has authorized, issued and has outstanding 150,000 shares of
common stock, par value of $10 per share.  AEFC owns all of the
outstanding shares.
   
As of Dec. 31, 1995, IDSC had issued (in face amount)
$13,074,792,382 of installment certificates and $14,769,642,620 of
single payment certificates.
    
Investment management and services

Under an Investment Advisory and Services Agreement, AEFC acts as
our investment advisor and is responsible for:

o    providing investment research,
o    making specific investment recommendations, and
o    executing purchase and sale orders according to our policy of
     obtaining the best price and execution.

All these activities are subject to direction and control by our
board of directors and officers.  Our agreement with AEFC requires
annual renewal by our board, including a majority of directors who
are not interested persons of AEFC or IDSC as defined in the
federal Investment Company Act of 1940.
<PAGE>
PAGE 19
For its services, we pay AEFC a monthly fee, equal on an annual
basis to a percentage of the total book value of certain assets
(included assets).

Advisory and services fee computation:

                               Percentage of total
Included assets                book value
first $250 million                0.75%
next 250 million                  0.65
next 250 million                  0.55
next 250 million                  0.50
any amount over 1 billion         0.45

Included assets are all assets of IDSC except mortgage loans, real
estate, and any other asset on which we pay an advisory or a
service fee.

Advisory and services fees for the past three years were:
   
                                  Percentage of
Year        Total fees            included assets
1995        $16,472,458               0.50%
1994        $13,565,432               0.51%
1993        $15,036,091               0.50%

Estimated advisory and services fees for 1996 are $19,152,000.
    
Other expenses payable by IDSC:  The Investment Advisory and
Services Agreement provides that we will pay:
o    costs incurred by us in connection with real estate and
     mortgages,
o    taxes,
o    depository and custodian fees,
o    brokerage commissions,
o    fees and expenses for services not covered by other agreements
     and provided to us at our request, or by requirement, by
     attorneys, auditors, examiners and professional consultants
     who are not officers or employees of AEFC,
o    fees and expenses of our directors who are not officers or
     employees of AEFC,
o    provision for certificate reserves (interest accrued on
     certificate holder accounts), and
o    expenses of customer settlements not attributable to any sales
     function.

Distribution

IDSC does not have a distribution agreement or pay a distribution
fee for this certificate.

<PAGE>
PAGE 20
Employment of other American Express affiliates

AEFC may employ another affiliate of American Express as executing
broker for our portfolio transactions only if:

o  we receive prices and executions at least as favorable as those
offered by qualified independent brokers performing similar
services;
o  the affiliate charges us commissions consistent with those
charged to comparable unaffiliated customers for similar
transactions; and
o  the affiliate's employment is consistent with the terms of the
current Investment Advisory and Services Agreement and federal
securities laws.

Directors and officers

IDSC's directors, chairman, president and controller are elected
annually for a term of one year.  The other executive officers are

law.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations

Results of operations:

IDS Certificate Company's (IDSC) earnings are derived primarily
from the after-tax yield on invested assets less investment
expenses and interest credited on certificate reserve liabilities. 
Changes in earnings' trends occur largely due to changes in the
rates of return on investments and the rates of interest credited
to certificate holder accounts and also, the mix of fully taxable
and tax-advantaged investments in the IDSC portfolio.

During the years 1992 and 1993, total assets and certificate
reserve liabilities decreased due to certificate maturities and
surrenders exceeding certificate sales.  The excess of certificate
maturities and surrenders over certificate sales in 1992 and 1993
primarily reflected lower accrual rates declared by IDSC in those
years, which in turn, reflected lower interest rates available in
the marketplace.

During the years 1994 and 1995, total assets and certificate
reserves increased due to certificate sales exceeding certificate
maturities and surrenders.  The excess of certificate sales over
certificate maturities and surrenders resulted primarily from
higher accrual rates declared by IDSC during the last six months of
1994 and the first six months of 1995, reflecting rising interest
rates in the marketplace.  The increase in total assets in 1995
reflects also an increase of $81 million in net unrealized
appreciation on investment securities classified as available for
sale.  The increase in total assets in 1994 was tempered by $23
million of net unrealized depreciation on investment securities
classified as available for sale, net of deferred taxes of $13
million.

1995 Compared to 1994:

Gross investment income increased 24% due primarily to a higher
average balance of invested assets and slightly higher investment
yields.

The 7.1% increase in investment expenses resulted primarily from
higher distribution fees due to higher sales of certificates that
provide for no deferral of those fees, and higher investment
advisory and services fee due to a higher asset base on which the
fee is calculated.  These increases were partially offset by lower
amortization of the cost of options and interest rate caps.  The
lower amortization of interest rate caps reflects the net of $1.7
million of accelerated amortization and $5.6 million higher
interest earned under the cap agreements.

Net provision for certificate reserves increased 65% reflecting a
higher average balance of certificate reserves and higher accrual
rates.

<PAGE>
PAGE 27
The increase in income tax benefit resulted primarily from a
greater portion of net investment income  before income tax benefit
being attributable to tax-advantaged income.

1994 Compared to 1993:

Gross investment income decreased 12% due primarily to a lower
average balance of invested assets and slightly lower investment
yields.

The 10% decrease in investment expenses resulted primarily from
lower amortization of the cost of interest rate caps and $2.3
million of interest earned under the cap agreements in 1994.  Lower
amortization of deferred distribution fees, and lower investment
advisory and services fees due to a lower average asset base on
which the fee is calculated contributed also to the decrease in 
investment expenses.

Net provision for certificate reserves decreased 13% reflecting
lower accrual rates during the first six months of the year and a
lower average balance of certificate reserves.

The decrease in income tax benefit resulted primarily from lower
tax-advantaged income.

Liquidity and cash flow:

IDSC's principal sources of cash are reserve payments from sales of
face-amount certificates and cash flows from investments.  In turn,
IDSC's principal uses of cash are payments to  certificate holders
for matured and surrendered certificates, purchase of investments
and payments of dividends to its Parent.

Certificate sales volume increased 38% in 1995, reflecting higher
accrual rates and clients' ongoing desire for safety of principal.
Sales of certificates totaled $1.5 billion compared to  $1.1
billion in 1994 and $.6 billion during 1993.  Certificate sales in
1995 benefitted also from a  special introductory promotion of
IDSC's 11-month term Flexible Savings certificate.

The special promotion of the 11-month term Flexible Savings
certificate was offered from May 10, 1995 to July 3, 1995,  and
applied only to sales of new certificate accounts during the
promotion period. Certificates sold during the promotion period
received a special interest rate of 7.0% for the 11-month term and
totaled $562 million.

IDSC, as an issuer of face-amount certificates, is affected
whenever there is a significant change in interest rates.  In view
of the uncertainty in the investment markets and due to the
short-term repricing nature of certificate reserve liabilities,
IDSC continues to invest in securities that provide for more
immediate, periodic interest/principal payments, resulting in
improved liquidity.  To accomplish this, IDSC continues to invest
much of its cash flow in mortgage-backed securities and
intermediate-term bonds.
<PAGE>
PAGE 28
IDSC's investment program is designed to maintain an investment
portfolio that will produce  the highest possible after-tax yield
within acceptable risk standards with additional emphasis  on
liquidity.  The program considers investment securities as
investments acquired to meet anticipated certificate holder
obligations.  

Effective Jan.1, 1994, IDSC adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  Under the SFAS No.
115, debt securities that IDSC has both the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost.  Debt
securities IDSC does not have the positive intent to hold to
maturity, as well as all marketable equity securities, are
classified as available for sale and carried at fair value.  The
available-for-sale classification does not mean that IDSC expects
to sell these securities, but that under SFAS No. 115 positive
intent criteria, these securities are available to meet possible
liquidity needs should there be significant changes in market
interest rates or certificate holder demand.  See notes 1 and 3 to
the financial statements for additional information relating to
SFAS No. 115.

At Dec. 31, 1995, securities classified as held to maturity and
carried at amortized cost  were $1.0 billion.  Securities
classified as available for sale and carried at fair value were
$2.4 billion. These securities, which comprise 90% of IDSC's total
invested assets, are well diversified.  Of these securities, 97%
are of investment grade and, other than U.S. Government Agency
mortgage-backed securities, no one issuer represents more than 1%
of these securities.  See note 3 to financial statements for
additional information on ratings and diversification. 

During the year ended Dec. 31, 1995, investment securities,
primarily municipal bonds, with an amortized cost and fair value of
$112 million and $117 million, respectively, were reclassified from
held to maturity to available for sale.  The reclassification was
made on Dec. 4, 1995, as a result of IDSC adopting the FASB Special
Report, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  There were
no other transfers of securities during the years 1995 and 1994.

Derivative financial instruments:

IDSC enters into transactions involving interest rate caps, and
purchased and written call options to manage its exposure to rising
interest rates.  IDSC does not enter into such   transactions for
trading purposes.  There is a possibility that the value of these
instruments will change due to fluctuations in a factor from which
the instruments derive their values.  IDSC is not subject to this
market risk because these instruments are largely used to hedge
such risks, and therefore, the cash flow and income effects of the
instruments are inverse to the effects of the underlying
transactions.  See note 9 to financial statements for additional
information regarding derivative financial instruments.

PAGE 29
Capital contributions:

To maintain its regulatory capital requirements, IDSC received a
capital contribution from its Parent of $28.5 million in 1995.

Ratios:

The ratio of stockholder's equity, excluding net unrealized holding
gains and losses on investment securities, to total assets less
certificate loans and net unrealized holding gains and losses on
investment securities at Dec. 31, 1995 was 5.79% compared to 5.49%
in 1994.  IDSC intends to manage this ratio to 5.0% in 1996, which
meets current regulatory requirements.

Report of Independent Auditors 

The Board of Directors and Security Holders
IDS Certificate Company:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of IDS Certificate
Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Financial
Corporation, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the management
of IDS Certificate Company.  Our responsibility is to  express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about  whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our
procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994 by correspondence with custodians and
brokers.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IDS
Certificate Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period  ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, IDS Certificate
Company changed its method of accounting for certain investments in
debt and equity securities in 1994.

Responsibility for Preparation of Financial Statements

The management of IDS Certificate Company (IDSC) is responsible for
the preparation and fair presentation of its financial statements. 
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the
circumstances, and include amounts based on the best judgment of
management.  IDSC's management is also responsible for the accuracy
and consistency of other financial information included in the
prospectus.

In recognition of its responsibility for the integrity and
objectivity of data in the financial statements, IDSC maintains a
system of internal control over financial reporting.   The system
is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance with
respect to the reliability of IDSC's financial statements.  The
concept of reasonable assurance is based on the notion that the
cost of the internal control system should not exceed the benefits
derived.

The internal control system is founded on an ethical climate and
includes an organizational  structure with clearly defined lines of
responsibility, policies and procedures, a Code of Conduct, and the
careful selection and training of employees.  Internal auditors
monitor and assess the effectiveness of the internal control system
and report their findings to management  throughout the year. 
IDSC's independent auditors are engaged to express an opinion on
the year-end financial statements and, with the coordinated support
of the internal auditors, review the financial records and related
data and test the internal control system over financial reporting.

1.  Nature of business and summary of significant accounting
policies

Nature of business

IDS Certificate Company (IDSC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
American Express Financial  Corporation (Parent), which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of American Express Company.  IDSC is registered
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("the 1940 Act") and is in the business of issuing face-amount
investment certificates.  The certificates issued by IDSC are not
insured by any government agency.  IDSC's certificates are sold
primarily by American Express Financial Advisors Inc.'s (an
affiliate) field force operating in 50 states, the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico.  IDSC's Parent acts as investment advisor
for IDSC.

IDSC currently offers eight types of certificates with specified
maturities ranging from four to  twenty years.  Within their
specified maturity, most certificates have interest rate terms of
one to thirty-six months.  In addition, one type of certificate has
interest tied, in whole or in part, to any upward movement in a
broad-based stock market index.  Except for two types of
certificates, all of the certificates are available as qualified
investments for Individual Retirement Accounts or 401(k) plans and
other qualified retirement plans.

IDSC's gross income is derived primarily from interest and
dividends generated by its investments. IDSC's net income is
determined by deducting from such gross income its provision for
certificate reserves, and other expenses, including taxes, the fee
paid to Parent for investment advisory and other services, and the
distribution fees paid to American Express Financial Advisors Inc.

Described below are certain accounting policies that are important
to an understanding of the accompanying financial statements.

Basis of financial statement presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.  IDSC uses the
equity method of accounting for its wholly owned unconsolidated
subsidiary, which is the method prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) for issuers of face-amount certificates. 
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses during
the year then ended.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
<PAGE>
PAGE 40

Fair values of financial instruments

The fair values of financial instruments disclosed in the notes to
financial statements are estimates based upon current market
conditions and perceived risks, and require varying degrees of
management judgment.

Preferred stock dividend income

IDSC recognizes dividend income from cumulative redeemable
preferred stocks with fixed maturity amounts on an accrual basis
similar to that used for recognizing interest income on debt
securities.  

Securities

Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.  IDSC has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash in
banks and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
or less at acquisition and are not interest rate sensitive.

Debt securities that IDSC has both the positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost.  Debt securities
IDSC does not have the positive intent to hold to maturity, as well
as all marketable equity securities, are classified as available
for sale and carried at fair value.  Unrealized holding gains and
losses on securities classified as available for sale are carried,
net of deferred income taxes, as a separate component of
stockholder's equity.

The basis for determining cost in computing realized gains and
losses on securities is specific identification.  When there is a
decline in value that is other than temporary, the securities are
carried at estimated realizable value with the amount of adjustment
included in income.

First mortgage loans on real estate

Mortgage loans are carried at amortized cost, less reserves for
losses, which is the basis for determining any realized gains or
losses.

Certificates

Investment certificates may be purchased either with a lump-sum
payment or by installment payments.  Certificate holders are
entitled to receive at maturity a definite sum of money.  Payments
from certificate holders are credited to investment certificate
reserves. Investment certificate reserves accumulate at specified
percentage rates.  Reserves also are maintained for advance
payments made by certificate holders, accrued interest thereon, and
for additional credits and accrued interest thereon.  On
certificates allowing for  the deduction of a surrender charge, the
cash surrender values may be less than accumulated investment
certificate reserves prior to maturity dates.  Cash surrender
values on  certificates allowing for no surrender charge are equal <PAGE>
PAGE 41
to certificate reserves.  The payment distribution, reserve
accumulation rates, cash surrender values, reserve values and other
matters are governed by the 1940 Act.

Deferred distribution fee expense

On certain series of certificates, distribution fees are deferred
and amortized over the estimated lives of the related certificates,
which is approximately 10 years.  Upon surrender, unamortized
deferred distribution fees are charged against income.

Federal income taxes

IDSC's taxable income or loss is included in the consolidated
federal income tax return of American Express Company.  IDSC
provides for income taxes on a separate return basis, except that,
under an agreement between Parent and American Express Company, tax
benefits are recognized for losses to the extent they can be used
in the consolidated return.  It is the policy of Parent and its
subsidiaries that Parent will reimburse a subsidiary for any  tax
benefits recorded.

2.  Deposit of assets and maintenance of qualified assets

A)  Under the provisions of its certificates and the 1940 Act, IDSC
was required to have qualified assets (as that term is defined in
Section 28(b) of the 1940 Act) in the amount of $3,619,188 and
$2,895,226 at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  IDSC had
qualified assets of $3,838,482 at Dec. 31, 1995 and $3,040,416 at
Dec. 31, 1994, excluding net unrealized appreciation on
available-for-sale securities of $45,265 at Dec. 31, 1995 and net
unrealized depreciation of $35,627 at Dec. 31, 1994.

Qualified assets are valued in accordance with such provisions of
Minnesota Statutes as are applicable to investments of life
insurance companies.  Qualified assets for which no provision for
valuation is made in such statutes are valued in accordance with
rules, regulations or orders prescribed by the SEC.  These values
are the same as financial statement carrying values, except for
debt securities classified as available for sale and all marketable
equity securities, which are carried at fair value in the financial
statements but are valued at amortized cost for qualified asset and
deposit maintenance purposes.

B)  Pursuant to provisions of the certificates, the 1940 Act, the
central depositary agreement and to requirements of various states,
qualified assets of IDSC were deposited as follows:

</TABLE>
The assets on deposit at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of
securities having a deposit value of $3,435,074 and $2,659,676,
respectively; mortgage loans of $229,554 and $252,263,
respectively; and other assets of $14,081 and $28,016,
respectively.  Mortgage loans on deposit include an affiliated
mortgage loan.

American Express Trust Company is the central depositary for IDSC. 
See note 7C.

3.  Investments in securities

A)  Fair values of investments in securities represent market
prices and estimated fair values when quoted prices are not
available.  Estimated fair values are determined by IDSC using
established procedures, involving review of market indexes, price
levels of current offerings and comparable issues, price estimates
and market data from independent brokers and financial files.  The
procedures are reviewed annually.  IDSC's vice president - 
investments reports to the board of directors on an annual basis
regarding such pricing sources and procedures to provide assurance
that fair value is being achieved.

The following is a summary of securities held to maturity and
securities available for sale at Dec. 31, 1995 and Dec. 31, 1994.

During the year ended Dec. 31, 1995, securities with an amortized
cost and fair value of $111,967 and $116,882, respectively, were
reclassified from held to maturity to available for sale.  The
reclassification was made on Dec. 4, 1995, as a result of IDSC
adopting the FASB Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of
Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."

B)  Investments in securities with fixed maturities comprised 90%
and 84% of IDSC's total invested assets at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Securities are rated by Moody's and Standard & Poors
(S&P), or by Parent's internal analysts, using criteria similar to
Moody's and S&P, when a public rating does not exist.  A summary of
investments in securities with fixed maturities by rating of
investment is as follows:

</TABLE>
Of the securities rated Aaa/AAA, 92% at Dec. 31, 1995 and 88% at
Dec. 31, 1994 are U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities
that are not rated by a public rating agency.  Approximately 11% at
Dec. 31, 1995 and 17% at Dec. 31, 1994 of other securities with
fixed maturities are rated by Parent's internal analysts.  At Dec. <PAGE>
PAGE 45
31, 1995 and 1994 no one issuer, other than U.S. Government Agency
mortgage-backed securities, is greater than 1% of IDSC's total
investment in securities with fixed maturities.

C)  IDSC reserves freedom of action with respect to its acquisition
of restricted securities that offer advantageous and desirable
investment opportunities.  In a private negotiation, IDSC may
purchase for its portfolio all or part of an issue of restricted
securities.  Since IDSC would intend to purchase such securities
for investment and not for distribution, it would not be acting as
a distributor if such securities are resold by IDSC at a later
date.

The fair values of restricted securities are determined by the
board of directors using the procedures and factors described in
paragraph A of note 3.

In the event IDSC were to be deemed to be a distributor of the
restricted securities, it is possible that IDSC would be required
to bear the costs of registering those securities under the
Securities Act of 1933, although in most cases such costs would be
borne by the issuer of the restricted securities.

4.  Investments in first mortgage loans on real estate

As of Jan. 1, 1995, IDSC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan" (SFAS No. 114), as amended by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" (SFAS
No. 118).  The adoption of the new rules did not have a material
impact on IDSC's results of operations or financial condition.

SFAS No. 114 applies to all loans except for smaller-balance
homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. 
Impairment is measured as the excess of the loan's recorded
investment over its present value of expected principal and
interest payments discounted at the loan's effective interest rate,
or the fair value of collateral.  The amount of the impairment is
recorded in a reserve for loss on mortgage loans.  

Based on management's judgment as to the ultimate collectibility of
principal, interest payments received are either recognized as
income or applied to the recorded investment in the loan until it
has been recovered.

The reserve for loss on mortgage loans is maintained at a level
that management believes is  appropriate to absorb estimated credit
losses in the mortgage loan portfolio.  The level of the reserve
account is determined based on several factors, including
historical experience, expected future principal and interest
payments, estimated collateral values, and current and anticipated
economic and political conditions.  Management regularly evaluates
the adequacy of the reserve for loss on mortgage loans.

At Dec. 31, 1995, IDSC's recorded investment in impaired mortgage
loans was $1,004 and the reserve for loss on that amount was $611. 
<PAGE>
PAGE 46
During 1995, the average recorded investment in impaired mortgage
loans was $1,052. 

IDSC recognized $53 of interest income related to impaired mortgage
loans for the year ended Dec. 31, 1995. 

There were no changes in the reserve for loss on mortgage loans of
$611 during the year ended Dec. 31, 1995.

At Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately 6% and 9%, respectively,
of IDSC's invested assets were first mortgage loans on real estate.

A summary of first mortgage loans by region and by type of real
estate is as follows:

A)  There is no minimum rate of accrual on these reserves. 
Interest is declared periodically, quarterly or annually, in
accordance with the terms of the separate series of certificates.

B)  On certain series of single payment certificates, additional
interest is predeclared for periods greater than one year.  At Dec.
31, 1995, $18,878 of retained earnings had been appropriated for
the predeclared additional interest, which represents the
difference between certificate reserves on these series, calculated
on a statutory basis, and the reserves maintained per books.

C)  Certain series of installment certificates guarantee accrual of
interest on advance payments at an average of 3.13%.  IDSC has
increased the rate of accrual to 4.85% through April 30, 1997.  An
appropriation of retained earnings amounting to $50 has been made,
which represents the estimated additional accrual that will result
from the increase granted by IDSC.<PAGE>

D)  IDS Stock Market Certificate enables the certificate holder to
participate in any relative rise in a major stock market index
without risking loss of principal.  Generally the certificate has a
term of 12 months and may continue for up to 14 successive terms.
The reserve balance at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994 was $211,093 and
$263,494, respectively.

E)  The carrying amounts and fair values of certificate reserves
consisted of the following  at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994.  Fair values
of certificate reserves with interest rate terms of one year or
less approximated the carrying values less any applicable surrender
charges.

The fair values for other certificate reserves are determined by a
discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently
offered for certificates with similar remaining terms, less any
applicable surrender charges.

6.  Dividend restriction

Certain series of installment certificates outstanding provide that
cash dividends may be paid by IDSC only in calendar years for which
additional credits of at least one-half of 1% on such series of
certificates have been authorized by IDSC.  This restriction has
been removed for 1996 and 1997 by action of IDSC on additional
credits in excess of this requirement. 

7.  Fees paid to Parent and affiliated companies ($ not in
thousands)

A)  The basis of computing fees paid or payable to Parent for
investment advisory and services is:

The investment advisory and services agreement with Parent provides
for a graduated scale of fees equal on an annual basis to 0.75% on
the first $250 million of total book value of assets of IDSC, 0.65%
on the next $250 million, 0.55% on the next $250 million, 0.50% on
the next $250 million and 0.45% on the amount in excess of $1
billion.  The fee is payable  monthly in an amount equal to
one-twelfth of each of the percentages set forth above. Excluded
from assets for purposes of this computation are first mortgage
loans, real estate and any other asset on which IDSC pays a service
fee.

B)  The basis of computing fees paid or payable to American Express
Financial Advisors Inc. (an affiliate) for distribution services
is:<PAGE>
PAGE 49
Fees payable to American Express Financial Advisors Inc. on sales
of IDSC's certificates are based upon terms of agreements giving
American Express Financial Advisors Inc. the exclusive  right to
distribute the certificates covered under the agreements.  The
agreements provide for payment of fees over a period of time.  The
aggregate fees payable under the agreements per  $1,000 face amount
of installment certificates and $1,000 purchase price of single
payments, and a summary of the periods over which the fees are

Deferred income taxes result from the net tax effects of temporary
differences.  Temporary differences are differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their  reported amounts in
the financial statements that will result in differences between
income for tax purposes and income for financial statement purposes
in future years.  Principal components of IDSC's deferred tax
assets and liabilities as of Dec. 31, are as follows.

9.  Derivative financial instruments

IDSC enters into transactions involving derivative financial
instruments as an end user (nontrading). IDSC uses these
instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, including
hedging specific transactions.  IDSC manages risks associated with
these instruments as described below.

Market risk is the possibility that the value of the derivative
financial instrument will change  due to fluctuations in a factor
from which the instrument derives its value, primarily an interest
rate or a major market index.  IDSC is not impacted by market risk
related to derivatives held because derivatives are largely used to
manage risk and, therefore, the cash flows and income effects of
the derivatives are inverse to the effects of the underlying hedged
transactions.

Credit exposure is the possibility that the counterparty will not
fulfill the terms of the  contract.  IDSC monitors credit exposure
related to derivative financial instruments through  established
approval procedures, including setting concentration limits by
counterparty, reviewing credit ratings and requiring collateral
where appropriate.  The majority of IDSC's counterparties to the
interest rate caps are rated A or better by nationally recognized
rating agencies.  The  counterparties to the call options are five
major broker/dealers.

The notional or contract amount of a derivative financial
instrument is generally used to calculate the cash flows that are
received or paid over the life of the agreement.  Notional amounts
do not represent market risk or credit exposure and are not
recorded on the balance sheet.

Credit exposure related to derivative financial instruments is
measured by the replacement cost of those contracts at the balance
sheet date.  The replacement cost represents the fair value of the
instrument, and is determined by market values, dealer quotes or
pricing models.


IDSC's holdings of derivative financial instruments were as follows
at Dec. 31, 1995 and 1994.

</TABLE>

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on
market values, dealer quotes or pricing models.  The interest rate
caps expire on various dates from 1996 to 1997.  The options expire
in 1996.

Interest rate caps and options are used to manage IDSC's exposure
to rising interest rates. These instruments are used primarily to
protect the margin between the interest rate earned on investments
and the interest rate accrued to related investment certificate
holders.

The interest rate caps are quarterly reset caps and IDSC earns
interest on the notional amount to the extent the London Interbank
Offering Rate exceeds the reference rates specified in the cap
agreements.  These reference rates range from 4% to 9%.  The cost
of these caps of $3,362 at Dec. 31, 1995 is being amortized over
the terms of the agreements on a straight line basis and is
included in other qualified assets.  The amortization, net of any
interest earned, is included in investment expenses.

IDSC offers a series of certificates which pay interest based upon
the relative change in a major stock market index between the
beginning and end of the certificates' term.  The certificate
holders have the option of participating in the full amount of
increase in the index during the term (subject to a specified
maximum) or a lesser percentage of the increase plus a guaranteed
minimum rate of interest.  As a means of hedging its obligations
under the provisions of these certificates, IDSC purchases and
writes call options on the major market index.  The options are
cash settlement options, that is, there is no underlying security
to deliver at the time the contract is closed out.

<PAGE>
PAGE 53

The option contracts are less than one year in term.  The premiums
paid or received on these index options are reported in other
qualified assets or other liabilities, as appropriate, and are
amortized into investment expenses over the life of the option. 
The intrinsic value of these index  options is also reported in
other qualified assets or other liabilities, as appropriate.  The
unrealized gains and losses related to the changes in the intrinsic
value of these options are recognized currently in provision for
certificate reserves.  

Following is a summary of open option contracts at Dec. 31, 1995
and 1994.

10.  Fair values of financial instruments                           

                                                       
IDSC is required to disclose fair value information for most on-
and off-balance sheet financial instruments for which it is
practical to estimate that value.  The carrying value of certain
financial instruments such as trade receivables and payables
approximates the fair value. Non-financial instruments, such as
deferred distribution fees, are excluded from required disclosure.
IDSC's off-balance sheet intangible assets, such as IDSC's name and
future earnings of the core business are also excluded.  IDSC's
management believes the value of these excluded assets is
significant.  The fair value of IDSC, therefore, cannot be
estimated by aggregating the amounts presented.

A summary of fair values of financial instruments as of Dec. 31, is
as follows:

          (formerly, IDS Financial Services Inc.), as underwriter,
          will assume any actionable civil liability which may
          arise under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, the
          Federal Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Federal
          Investment Company Act of 1940, in addition to any such
          liability arising at law or in equity, out of any untrue
          statement of a material fact made by its agents in the
          due course of their business in selling or offering for
          sale, or soliciting applications for, securities issued
          by the Company or any omission on the part of its agents
          to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
          statements so made, in the light of the circumstances in
          which they were made, not misleading (no such untrue
          statements or omissions, however, being admitted or
          contemplated), but such liability shall be subject to the
          conditions and limitations described in said Acts. 
          American Express Financial Advisors Inc. will also assume
          any liability of the Company for any amount or amounts
          which the Company legally may be compelled to pay to any
          purchaser under said Acts because of any untrue
          statements of a material fact, or any omission to state a
          material fact, on the part of the agents of IDS Financial
          Services Inc. to the extent of any actual loss to, or
          expense of, the Company in connection therewith.  The By-
          Laws of the Registrant contain a provision relating to
          Indemnification of Officers and Directors as permitted by
          applicable law.

                      DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made as of March __, 1996, by and between IDS
Certificate Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
American Express Service Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("American Express").

I.  SOLICITATION OF APPLICATIONS

     (1)  During the term of this Agreement, American Express and
          persons designated by it shall have the exclusive right
          to solicit applications for and to distribute the
          IDS Stock Market Certificate issued by the
          Company and other such Certificates issues by the Company
          as the parties hereto shall agree (the "Certificates").

     (2)  American Express will use its best efforts to solicit or
          cause the solicitation of applications for the
          Certificates currently issued by the Company.

     (3)  American Express agrees that all applications for the
          Certificates shall be made in writing on forms acceptable
          to the Company.  Every application shall be subject to
          acceptance or rejection by the Company according to the
          terms thereof.  American Express shall promptly remit to
          the Company the payment tendered with each application,
          such payment to be in conformity with the provisions of
          the Certificate for which such application is made.

     (4)  The Certificates shall not be offered by either American
          Express or the Company under any of the provisions of
          this Agreement and no application for the purchase or
          sale of the Certificates hereunder shall be accepted by
          the Company if and so long as the effectiveness of the
          registration statement then in effect or any necessary
          amendments thereto shall be suspended under any of the
          provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act")
          or if and so long as a current prospectus as required by
          Section 5(b)(2) of the 1933 Act is not on file with the
          Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"); provided,
          however, that nothing contained in this paragraph I(4)
          shall in any way restrict or have an application to or
          bearing upon the Company's obligation to comply with any
          withdrawal request from any Certificate owner in
          accordance with the provisions of the Company's
          prospectus or articles of incorporation.

II.  COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY

     The Company shall make prompt and reasonable effort to do any
     and all things necessary in its reasonable opinion or in the
     reasonable opinion of American Express in connection with the
     offer and sale of the Certificates and the performance of any
     of the provisions of this Agreement, including by not limited
     to the preparation and filing of registration statements,
     accounting statements (audited and unaudited), pamphlets,
     prospectuses, literature and any other data about the Company,
     its records or business, in such detail and in such form (with<PAGE>

     reasonably requested by American Express.

III.  ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES

          (a)  All registration or qualification fees or other sums
               required by law to be paid in connection with any
               registration or qualification of the Company and the

               extension or amendment thereof, in order legally to
               offer, to sell or to continue the sale of the
               Certificates in such federal, state or other
               jurisdictions as American Express may from time to
               time designate.

          (b)  All fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and
               others in connection with all such registrations or
               qualifications of the Company and the Certificates.

               incurred in connection with the registration or
               qualification of the Company, for the Certificates,
               as a foreign corporation or for the purpose of
               enabling the Company to do business in any federal,
               state or other jurisdiction as American Express may
               from time to time designate.

          (d)  All costs of advertising the Certificates and the
               Company with regard to the Certificates.

          (e)  All costs and expenses of filing, recording,
               preparing and printing statements, records,

               annual reports, certificates and other documents or
               materials also necessary or desirable in connection
               with the registration or qualification described in
               sub-paragraph (a) hereof or in connection with the
               offer or sale of the Certificates.

          (f)  All costs and expenses of internal auditing and
               accounting, and maintaining and preparing original
               accounting records and reports arising in connection
               with the Company's offer and sale of the
               Certificates.

          (g)  All other costs and expenses in connection with the
               offer and sale of the Certificates by American
               Express pursuant to the provisions of this
               Agreement, including the acceptance of applications
               and the establishment of original certificate
               owners' records.

     (2)  Except as hereinbefore provided, the Company agrees to
          pay fees and expenses for services provided to the
          Company at its request, or by requirement, by attorneys

PAGE 3

          Related Services Company, Inc. or American Express
          Company.

     accepts in full payment for its services under this Agreement,
     the following distribution fees.

     (a)  A distribution fee as disclosed in the Certificate
          prospectus or prospectuses.

          Up to 100% of the distribution fee paid may be refunded
          to the Company if the Certificate is surrendered for cash
          within the first twenty four months from the date of
          acceptance by the Company.  The amount of the refund, if
          any, shall be mutually agreed upon between the Company
          and American Express from time to time.

V.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The Company represents to American Express that all
     registration statements and prospectuses filed by the Company
     with the SEC under the 1933 Act and the Investment Company Act
     of 1940 (the "1940 Act") with respect to the Certificates have
     been prepared in conformity with the requirements of the 1933
     Act, the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC
     thereunder.  As used in this Agreement the terms "registration
     statement" and "prospectus" shall mean any registration
     statement and prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC and
     any amendments and supplements thereto which at any time shall
     have been filed by the Company with the SEC.  The Company
     represents and warrants to American Express that any
     registration statement and prospectus, when such registration
     statement becomes effective, will include all statements
     required to be contained therein in conformity with the 1933
     Act, the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC;
     that all statements of fact contained in any registration
     statement or prospectus will be true and correct when such
     registration statement becomes effective; and that neither any
     registration statement nor any prospectus when such
     registration statement becomes effective will include an
     untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
     make the statements therein not misleading to a purchaser of
     the Certificate.  American Express may, but shall not be
     obligated to, propose from time to time such amendment or
     amendments to any registration statement and such supplement
     or supplements to any prospectus as, in the light of future
     developments, may, in the opinion of American Express'
     counsel, be necessary or advisable.  If the Company shall not
     propose such amendment or amendments and/or supplement or
     supplements within fifteen days after receipt by the Company
     of a written request from American Express to do so, American
     Express may, at its option, terminate this Agreement.  The
     Company shall not file any amendment to any registration
     statement or supplement to any prospectus without giving<PAGE>
PAGE 4
     American Express reasonable notice thereof in advance;
     provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement
     shall in any way limit the Company's right to file at any time
     such amendments to any registration statement and/or
     supplements to any prospectus, of whatever character, as the
     Company may deem advisable, such right being in all respects
     absolute and unconditional.

     American Express represents and warrants that American Express
     is a securities broker/dealer registered with the SEC and with
     any jurisdiction in which it is required to be registered and
     a member in good standing of the National Association of
     Securities Dealers, Inc. and agrees to comply with all state
     and federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to
     transactions hereunder and to the Rules of Fair Practice of
     the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
     including specifically Article III, Section 26 thereof. 
     American Express likewise agrees that it will not offer to
     sell the Certificates in any state or other jurisdiction in
     which they may not lawfully be offered for sale.

VI.  INDEMNIFICATION

     (1)  The Company authorizes American Express and any dealers
          with whom American Express has entered into dealer
          agreements to use any current prospectus furnished by the
          Company from time to time, in connection with the sale of
          the Certificates.  The Company agrees to indemnify,
          defend and hold American Express, its several officers
          and directors, and any person who controls American
          Express within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act,
          free and harmless from and against any and all claims,
          demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of
          investigating or defending such claims, demands or
          liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection
          therewith) which American Express, its officers and
          directors, or any such controlling person, may incur
          under the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act or common law or
          otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue
          statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
          contained in any registration statement or any
          prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission
          or alleged omission to state a material fact required to
          be stated in any registration statement or any
          prospectus, or necessary to make the statements in any of
          them not misleading; provided, however, that the
          Company's agreement to indemnify American Express, its
          officers or directors, and any such controlling person
          shall not be deemed to cover any claims, demands,
          liabilities or expenses (including the cost of
          investigating or defending such claims, demands or
          liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection
          therewith) arising out of or based upon any statements or
          representations made by American Express or its
          representatives or agents other than such statements and
          representations as are contained in any registration
          statement or prospectus and in such financial and other
          statements as are furnished to American Express pursuant<PAGE>
PAGE 5
          to Section II hereof and as are current at the time of
          such statements and representations; and further provided
          that the Company's agreement to indemnify American
          Express and the Company's representations and warranties
          hereinbefore set forth in Section V shall not be deemed
          to cover any liability to the Company or its shareholders
          or certificate owners to which American Express would
          otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
          bad faith, gross negligence or negligence in the
          performance of its duties, or by reason of American
          Express' reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
          under this Agreement.  The Company's agreement to
          indemnify American Express, its officers and directors,
          and any such controlling person, as aforesaid, is
          expressly conditioned upon the Company's being notified
          of any action brought against American Express, its
          officers or directors, or any such controlling person,
          such notification to be given by letter or by telegram
          addressed to the Company at its principal office in
          Minneapolis, Minnesota, and sent to the Company by the
          person against whom such action is brought, within ten
          days after the summons or other first legal process shall
          have been served.  The  failure so to notify the Company
          of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any
          liability that the Company may have to the person against
          whom such action is brought by reason of any such untrue
          or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
          omission otherwise than on account of the Company's
          indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph VI(1). 
          The Company's indemnification agreement contained in this
          paragraph VI(1) (except so far as such indemnification
          agreement is expressly limited as set forth herein) and
          the Company's representations and warranties in this
          Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
          effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
          behalf of American Express, its officers and directors,
          or any controlling person, and shall survive the delivery
          of any Certificates.  This agreement of indemnity will
          inure exclusively to American Express' benefit, to the
          benefit of its several officers and directors, and their
          respective estates, and to the benefit of the controlling
          persons and their successors.  The Company agrees to
          notify American Express promptly of the commencement of
          any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any
          of its officers or directors in connection with the
          issuance and sale of the Certificates.

     (2)  American Express agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the
          Company, its several officers and directors, and any
          person who controls the Company within the meaning of
          Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and
          against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and
          expenses (including the costs of investigating or
          defending such claims, demands or liabilities and any
          counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) that the
          Company, its officers or directors or any such
          controlling person may incur under the 1933 Act, the 1940
          Act or common law or otherwise, but only to the extent<PAGE>
PAGE 6
          that such liability or expense incurred by the Company,
          its officers or directors or such controlling person
          resulting from such claims or demands shall arise out of
          or be based upon (a) any unauthorized sales literature,
          advertisements, information statements or representations
          or (b) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
          material fact contained in information furnished in
          writing by American Express to the Company and used in
          the answers to any of the items of the registration
          statement or in the corresponding statements made in the
          prospectus, or shall arise out of or be based upon any
          omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in
          connection with such information furnished in writing by
          American Express to the Company and required to be stated
          in such answers or necessary to make such information not
          misleading.  American Express' agreement to indemnify the
          Company, its officers and directors, and any such
          controlling person, as aforesaid, is expressly
          conditioned upon American Express' being notified of any
          action brought against the Company, its officers or
          directors, or any such controlling person, such
          notification to be given by letter or telegram addressed
          to American Express at its principal office in New York,
          New York and sent to American Express by the person
          against whom such action is brought, within ten days
          after the summons or other first legal process shall have
          been served.  The failure so to notify American Express
          of any action shall not relieve American Express from any
          liability that American Express may have to the Company,
          its officers or directors, or to such controlling person
          by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement
          or omission or alleged omission otherwise than on account
          of American Express' indemnity agreement contained in
          this paragraph VI(2).  American Express agrees to notify
          the Company promptly of the commencement of any
          litigation or proceedings against American Express or any
          of its officers or directors in connection with the
          issuance and sale of the Certificate.

     (3)  In case any action shall be brought against any
          indemnified party under paragraph VI(1) or VI(2), and the
          indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of
          the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
          entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it
          shall wish to do so, to assume the defense thereof with
          counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.  If the
          indemnifying party opts to assume the defense of such
          action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the
          indemnified party for any legal or other expenses
          subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
          connection with the defense thereof other than (a)
          reasonable costs of investigation or the furnishing of
          documents or witnesses and (b) all reasonable fees and
          expenses of separate counsel to such indemnified party if
          (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
          shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel or
          (ii) the indemnified party shall have concluded
          reasonably that representation of the indemnifying party<PAGE>
PAGE 7
          and the indemnified party by the same counsel would be
          inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
          interests between them in the conduct of the defense of
          such action.

          Company as stockholder or otherwise.

     (5)  Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in
          writing, addressed and delivered or mailed postpaid to

VIII.  TERMINATION

     (1)  This Agreement shall continue in effect through March __,
          1997, and shall continue from year to year thereafter
          unless and until terminated by either party as
          hereinafter provided, except that such continuance after
          March __, 1997, shall be specifically approved at least

          interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a
          meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
          approval.  As used in this paragraph, the term
          "interested person" shall have the same meaning as set
          forth in the 1940 Act.

     (2)  This Agreement may be terminated without penalty by
          either the Company or American Express at any time
          whether prior to, at or after March __, 1997, by giving
          the other party at least sixty days' prior written notice
          of such intention to terminate.  Any such termination by
          the Company may be effected by its Board of Directors or

          securities.

     (3)  This Agreement will terminate automatically in the event
          of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act.)

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this agreement
as of the day and year first above written.

    NOTES:

    (a)  The classification "residential" includes single dwellings only.
         Residential multiple dwellings are included in "apartment and
         business".

    (b)  Real estate taxes and easements, which in the opinion of the Company
         are not undue burden on the properties, have been excluded from
         the determination of "prior liens".

    (c)  In this schedule III, carrying amount of mortgage loans represents
         unpaid principal balances plus unamortized premiums less
         unamortized dicounts and allowance for loss.

    (d)  Interest in arrears for less than three months has been disregarded
         in computing the total amount of principal subject to delinquent
         interest.  The amounts of mortgage loans being forclosed are
         also included in amounts subject to delinquent interest.

    (e)  Information as to interest due and accrued at the end of the period
         is shown by type of mortgage loan.  Information as to interest
         due and accrued for the various classes within the types of
         mortgage loans is not readily available and the obtaining
         thereof would involve unreasonable effort and expense.

         The Company does not accrue interest on loans which are over three
         months delinquent.

    (f)  Information as to interest income by type and class of loan has been
         omitted because it is not readily available and the obtaining
         thereof would involve unreasonable effort and expense.  In lieu
         thereof, the average gross interest rates (exclusive of amort-
         tization of discounts and premiums) on mortgage loans held at
         December 31, 1995 are shown by type and class of loan.

         The average gross interest rates on mortgage loans held at
         December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 are summarized as follows:

                                                  1995      1994      1993
