                SunTrust Reports 10% Growth In Earnings Per Share

ATLANTA, October 10, 2000 - SunTrust Banks, Inc. today reported record-operating
income of $332.2 million, up from the $325.9 million earned in the third quarter
of 1999.  Operating  earnings  of $1.11 per  diluted  share were up 10% from the
$1.01 per diluted share earned in the third quarter of last year. Including $5.4
million in after-tax merger-related charges,  reported net income totaled $326.8
million for the quarter or $1.10 per diluted share compared to $321.4 million or
$1.00 per diluted share in the third quarter of 1999.  Reported return on assets
was 1.34% for the quarter and return on average realized equity was 21.62%.

For the first nine months of 2000,  operating  earnings were $989.8 million,  up
from the  $924.3  million  earned in the first  nine  months of 1999.  Operating
earnings per diluted share for the first nine months of 2000 were $3.27,  up 14%
from  the  $2.87  earned  in  1999.   Including   $26.1   million  in  after-tax
merger-related  charges,  reported  net income for the first nine months of 2000
was $963.7  million.  Through the first nine months of 2000,  reported return on
assets was 1.35% and return on average realized equity was 21.47%.

"I am pleased to report our  efficiency  programs are beginning to show results,
both in terms  of  increased  revenues  in  targeted  categories  and a  gradual
improvement  in our  expense  structure,"  said L.  Phillip  Humann,  SunTrust's
Chairman,  President and Chief Executive Officer. "These initiatives contributed
to another quarter of record earnings despite the slowing in the economy related
to rising interest rates."

Fully taxable net interest  income of $781.5  million in the quarter was down 3%
from  the  third  quarter  of  1999.  The  decline  in net  interest  income  is
attributable  primarily to the sale of the consumer  credit card  portfolio,  as
well as the ongoing  impact of rising  interest  rates and the  Company's  stock
buyback  program.  For the first nine months of 2000, fully taxable net interest
income was $2,352.3 million, down 1% from the first nine months of 1999. The net
interest  margin for the third  quarter was 3.47%.  Average  loans for the third
quarter were $71.5 billion, up 14% from the third quarter of last year.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, was $447.8 million in
the  quarter,  up slightly  from the third  quarter of 1999.  For the first nine
months of 2000,  noninterest income,  excluding securities gains and losses, was
$1,320.2  million,  virtually  unchanged  from the  first  nine  months of 1999.
Noninterest  income  represented  36% of total  revenue  through  the first nine
months of 2000.  Noninterest expense,  excluding  merger-related  expenses,  was
$698.3 million for the quarter,  down slightly from the $701.6 million  recorded
in the second quarter of 2000.

Net charge-offs in the third quarter were $30.5 million or .17% of average loans
down from $40.8  million or .26% of average  loans in the third  quarter of last
year. The provision for loan losses was $30.5 million for the quarter, down from
$46.5  million  a  year  ago.

Nonperforming  assets were $404.5  million at  quarter-end  or .56% of loans and
foreclosed  properties.  Three credits represented 82% of the quarterly increase
in  nonperforming  assets.  Nonperforming  assets at September 30, 2000 included
$380.9 million in nonperforming loans and $23.6 million in net other real estate
owned.  Nonperforming  assets at  September  30,  2000  comprised  .40% of total
assets, compared to .31% at June 30, 2000 and .28% a year ago. The allowance for
loan losses at September 30, 2000 was $874.5  million and  represented  1.21% of
loans.

At  September  30, 2000,  SunTrust had total assets of $100.5  billion and total
deposits of $69.2 billion.  Equity capital of $7.7 billion  represented 7.66% of
total assets. Book value per share was $25.85.
