                         Report of Independent Auditors



Administrative Committee of The
National City Savings and
Investment Plan No. 2 and Trust
Cleveland, Ohio


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of The National City
Savings and Investment Plan No. 2 and Trust as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
and the related statements of income, expenses and changes in net assets for
the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  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.  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 net assets of The National City Savings and
Investment Plan No. 2 and Trust at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
income, expenses and changes in net assets for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1993 and reportable transactions
for the year ended December 31, 1993 are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and is
not a required part of the financial statements.  The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1993
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the 1993 financial statements taken as a whole.

                                                                   ERNST & YOUNG

Company were transferred into the Plan from the National City Savings and
Investment Plan and Trustee (see Note B).

The fair value of participation units owned by the Plan in several funds of the
National City Bank Investment Funds for Retirement Trusts ("NCB Funds") and the
Money Market Portfolio of the NCC Funds ("NCC Funds") are based on quoted red
emption values on the last business day of the Plan year. Income from these
funds is distributed monthly to the Plan as earned.

Contributions made to the Equity, Fixed Income, Capital Preservation and
National City Corporation Stock Funds may be temporarily invested in the NCC
Funds Money Market Portfolio.

The following are significant accounting policies for the NCC Investment Funds
for Retirement Trusts:
  
        INVESTMENT VALUATION 

        Investments are carried at their market value. Securities 
        traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the
        last reported sales price on the last business day of the
        year and securities traded in the over-the-counter market
        and listed securities for which no sale was reported on
        that date are valued at fair value as determined by the
        Trustee based on reported bid prices. Discount securities
        are valued at cost which approximates market value. Temporary
        investments are  valued at market which approximates cost. Real estate
        mortgage loans are valued at current trading rates. The investments in
        investment contracts in the Capital Preservation Fund are valued by the
        Trustee at their fair values, which, in each case since the
        commencement of that Fund, has been equal, with respect to each
        investment contract, to the maturity value of the contract, adjusted
        appropriately for redemptions.

A.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED 

        INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

        Purchases and sales are accounted for on the trade date.
        Cost of securities sold is determined by the average cost
        method.

        INCOME RECOGNITION

        Interest income is reported as earned. Dividend income is
        recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premiums are not
        amortized. Bond discounts are not accreted into income.

        INCOME DISTRIBUTION

        Net investment income is distributed quarterly to
        participants as earned. The discount accreted on discount
        securities is distributed to participants as investment
        income is reinvested monthly in additional participant
        units.

        FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

        The Funds are exempt from Federal income taxes and,
        therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

The Capital Preservation Fund's investments in insurance company deposit
administration contracts are valued at contract value. Contract value
represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest at the contract
rate, less funds used to purchase annuities and pay administrative expenses.

National City Corporation common stock is valued at the last reported sales
price on the last business day of the year. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

Assets held in the National City Corporation Stock Fund (stock fund) consisted
of shares of National City Corporation common stock and units of NCC
funds--Money Market portfolio. In 1993, the Plan formed the National City
Corporation Common Stock Fund (common stock fund) by transferring assets from
the stock fund to the common stock fund in exchange for units. Unit s were
determined by dividing the sum of the market value of National City Corporation
common stock and NCC funds--Money Market portfolio by the number of National
City Corporation shares outstanding. Units were proportionally allocated to
the participants. This transaction had no affect on the market value of net
assets.

The unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments is the difference
between fair value and the cost of investments.

The realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds
received and the average cost of investments sold.

B.  PLAN DESCRIPTION

Effective January 1, 1992, certain assets were transferred from the National
City Savings and Investment Plan and Trust and to the Plan.  The Plan accounts
for the assets of non-exempt employees of the National City Processing Company.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan for all employees, other than law
enforcement officers hired to perform off duty services and  student interns,
who are employed by an subsidiary of National City  Corporation which has
adopted the Plan ("employers").  All administrative     expenses of the Plan
are paid by the employers.
        
An eligible employee may become a participant in the Plan on the first day of
any calendar month after he or she has attained age 21 and completed at least
one employment year and 1,000 hours of service.  The Plan allows participants
to elect to contribute from 1% to 10% of base compensation.  Participant
contributions may be deposited in 5% increments in an Equity Fund, a Fixed
Income Fund, a Money Market Fund, a Capital Preservation Fund or the National
City Corporation Stock Fund.

The employers make monthly matching contributions out of current or accumulated
profits.  The employers' monthly matching contribution is equal to 100% of the
participant's contributions up to 3% of the participant's base compensation.
For additional participant contributions, up to 7% of base compensation, the
employers' monthly matching contribution is equal to 50% of the participant's
contribution.

The Plan also provides for a supplemental employer profit sharing matching
contribution if National City Corporation's return on equity equals or exceeds
12% for the year 1993.  The supplemental contribution is based on achieved
return on equity, with a maximum supplemental contribution of 50%.  For 1993
and 1992, the supplemental employer profit sharing contribution was 25% and 8%,
respectively, based on achieved return on equity of 16.12% and 15.31%.

B.  PLAN DESCRIPTION--CONTINUED

Transfer between plan represents participants who have a change in employment
status at National City Corporation or one of its subsidiaries.

All assets of the Plan are recorded in individual participant accounts.
Participants are fully vested as to their contributions and earnings.

Employer matching contributions are unconditionally credited to the accounts of
the participant.  To be eligible to share in a supplemental employer profit
sharing contribution, a participant must be an employee on December 31 of that
year or have terminated employment during the year by reason of retirement,
death, or disability.  Supplemental employer profit sharing contributions are
unconditionally credited to the accounts of the participant.

Participants are allowed to borrow at a variable interest rate up to 50% of the
value in their vested account balance, with a minimum loan of $500 and a
maximum loan of $50,000.  Participants are restricted to only one loan in any
twelve month period and to a maximum of two loans at any one time.  The
interest rates on loans was 6.00% and 6.50% at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

operational compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and will remain
qualified and exempt from Federal income taxes.

income taxes in the year contributed but will be subject to applicable Social
Security taxes.  in general, participant withdrawals will be subject to Federal
