                                  Attachment A
                                  ------------

     CHICAGO, June 27, 1996 -- First Chicago NBD Corporation stated today that
it expects second-quarter earnings will meet the consensus range of most bank
stock analysts of $1.03 to $1.07 per share.

     At a scheduled meeting today in Chicago for stock analysts and investors,
the Corporation is stating that favorable trends in its fundamental businesses
are anticipated to result in earnings that are on track with market expectations
despite recent trends in the credit quality of the credit card business.

     The Corporation's second-quarter earnings estimate includes a projected
charge-off rate for its credit card business of about 5.8% of managed
receivables, up from 4.8% in the first quarter.  Furthermore, the Corporation
said it is comfortable that its reserves for credit losses are adequate.  The
Corporation estimates that its credit card business will earn about $80 million
for the second quarter, which equals or exceeds results in each of the previous
four quarters.  The return on equity for credit card is estimated at 30% for the
second quarter.

     One year after the merger of First Chicago Corporation and NBD Bancorp,
Inc. was announced, the Corporation will advise analysts and investors today
that all the decisions have been made to achieve the merger integration goal of
$200 million in expense savings in 1997.  In addition, the goal of a $25 billion
reduction in low-margin assets is expected to be completed by year-end 1996,
well ahead of schedule.

     The Corporation is scheduled to release second-quarter financial results on
July 15, 1996.

     First Chicago NBD Corporation is the nation's 7th largest bank holding
company with assets of $115.5 billion.  It is the Midwest's leading provider of
financial services to consumers, middle market companies and large corporate
customers.
