                          PNC BANK CORP. REPORTS RECORD
                           FIRST QUARTER 1999 EARNINGS

       PITTSBURGH, Apr. 22, 1999 - PNC Bank Corp. (NYSE: PNC) today reported
first quarter 1999 earnings of $325 million or $1.05 per diluted share. Core
earnings for the quarter were $293 million or $0.94 per diluted share, return on
average common shareholders' equity was 20.63% and return on average assets was
1.54%. Earnings for the first quarter of 1998 were $269 million or $0.87 per
diluted share.

       Reported first quarter 1999 results included $290 million of pretax gains
on the sales of the credit card business and an equity interest in Electronic
Payment Services, Inc. (EPS). The current quarter also included $142 million of
valuation adjustments associated with exiting certain institutional lending
businesses and $98 million of costs related to efficiency initiatives.

         "Our record first quarter earnings reflected continuing momentum across
a broad range of businesses," said Thomas H. O'Brien, chairman and chief
executive officer. "Our Regional Bank reported significant improvements in
efficiency and double digit growth in earnings. Asset management businesses,
including BlackRock, PFPC Worldwide and PNC Advisors, continued to deliver
outstanding growth and returns. Also, we completed the sale of the credit card
business during the quarter and continued to aggressively pursue strategic
initiatives focused on improving shareholder returns."

         Diluted earnings per share increased 15% in the first quarter of 1999
compared with the prior-year quarter, excluding the credit card business and
assuming the provision for credit losses was equal to net charge-offs in 1998.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

         Taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $20 million compared
with the first quarter of 1998 to $664 million in the first quarter of 1999 due
to growth in earning assets. The net interest margin was 3.86% for the first
quarter of 1999 compared with 3.96% in the first quarter of 1998. The decline in
the margin was primarily associated with the change in balance sheet
composition.

         The provision for credit losses was equal to net charge-offs at $78
million in the first quarter of 1999, compared with a provision of $30 million a
year ago.

         Noninterest income was $731 million in the first quarter of 1999 and
included $290 million of gains on the sales of the credit card business and an
equity interest in EPS. Noninterest income also included $142 million of
valuation adjustments primarily related to the decision to exit out-of-footprint
large corporate, national healthcare and other non-strategic lending businesses
in PNC Institutional Bank. Total exposure and outstandings for these businesses
were $6.5 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, at March 31, 1999. These
actions will result in reduced balance sheet leverage, a greater focus on higher
return corporate business in the Regional Bank footprint and additional capital
available for reinvestment in higher growth businesses and share repurchases.
Excluding the gains and valuation adjustments, noninterest income was $583
million in the first quarter of 1999, a $77 million or 15% increase from the
prior-year quarter driven by higher fee income. Consumer services, mutual fund
servicing, net residential mortgage banking and asset management revenues each
grew 14% or more compared with the first quarter of 1998.

         Asset management fees grew 14% primarily reflecting significant new
business and market appreciation. Assets under management increased to
approximately $182 billion at March 31, 1999 compared with $149 billion at March
31, 1998. Mutual fund servicing fees grew 24% compared with the first quarter of
1998 due to an increase in assets serviced. At March 31, 1999, PFPC Worldwide
provided custody and accounting/administration services for $338 billion and
$266 billion of mutual fund assets, respectively. The comparable amounts were
$248 billion and $218 billion, respectively, a year ago.

         Consumer services revenue increased $48 million or 59% compared with
the first quarter of 1998 primarily due to an increase in brokerage accounts
associated with the Hilliard Lyons acquisition. Corporate services revenue
decreased $111 million reflecting the valuation adjustments in PNC Institutional
Bank. Excluding the valuation adjustments, corporate services revenue increased
47% compared with the prior-year quarter primarily due to the acquisition of
Midland Loan Services.

         Net residential mortgage banking revenue grew $8 million or 15%
compared with the prior-year quarter primarily due to higher servicing income
reflecting growth in the servicing portfolio. Residential mortgage originations,
including both retail and correspondent activity, totaled $6 billion compared
with $3 billion in the prior-year period. At March 31, 1999, approximately $65.6
billion of residential mortgages were serviced, including $58.2 billion serviced
for others.

         Other noninterest income increased $261 million in the
quarter-to-quarter comparison primarily due to the gains on the sales of the
credit card business and an equity interest in EPS. 

          Noninterest expense of $823 million included $98 million of costs
related to efficiency initiatives. Excluding these costs, noninterest
expense increased $17 million or 2% compared with the first quarter of
1998. Excluding the impact of gains, valuation adjustments and costs
associated with efficiency initiatives, the efficiency ratio improved to
52.0% compared with 57.1% in the prior-year quarter.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

       Total assets were $74.9 billion at March 31, 1999 compared with $72.4
billion at March 31, 1998. Average earning assets increased $3.6 billion from
the prior year to $68.8 billion. Average loans grew $2.6 billion to $56.7
billion, a 4.8% increase from the prior year. Growth in commercial loans,
primarily real estate and middle market, more than offset lower credit card
loans. Loans represented 82% of average earning assets in the first quarter of
1999 compared with 83% a year ago. Average loans held for sale increased $1.0
billion from the prior year, reflecting higher residential mortgage
originations. Average securities available for sale of $7.8 billion were
consistent with the prior year and represented 11% and 12% of average earning
assets in the first quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       Average deposits were $46.4 billion and represented 60% of total sources
of funds in the first quarter of 1999 compared with $44.6 billion and 62%,
respectively, in the first quarter of 1998. The increase in deposits was
generated by growth in PNC Regional Bank through both its branch and alternative
delivery channels. Average borrowed funds increased $1.6 billion compared with
last year. Liquidity was strengthened as 50% of wholesale liabilities had a
maturity beyond one year at March 31, 1999, compared with 36% at March 31, 1998.

       Shareholders' equity totaled $5.9 billion at March 31, 1999. The leverage
ratio was 7.28% and Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios are estimated to
be 8.1% and 11.7%, respectively.

       The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed assets
was 0.62% at March 31, 1999 compared with 0.58% and 0.61% at Dec. 31, 1998 and
March 31, 1998, respectively. Nonperforming assets were $328 million at March
31, 1999 compared with $332 million and $335 million at Dec. 31, 1998 and March
31, 1998, respectively.

       The allowance for credit losses was $672 million at March 31, 1999, and
represented 231% of nonaccrual loans compared with 255% and 321% at Dec. 31,
1998 and March 31, 1998, respectively. Net charge-offs were $78 million or .56%
of average loans in the first quarter of 1999 compared with $90 million or .67%,
respectively, a year ago. Excluding credit cards, net charge-offs were $20
million or .15% of average loans in the first quarter of 1999 compared with $21
million or .17% of average loans in the first quarter of 1998.
