General

     Set forth below is certain information with respect to the credit card and
revolving line accounts under management by the Banks or their affiliates (the
"Providian Portfolio").  There can be no assurance that the yield, loss and
delinquency experience with respect to the Receivables will be comparable to
that set forth below with respect to the entire Providian Portfolio.

Accountholder Monthly Payment Rates

     The following table sets forth the highest and lowest accountholder monthly
payment rates for the Providian Portfolio during any month in the period shown
and the average accountholder monthly payment rates for all months during the
periods shown, in each case calculated as a percentage of total opening monthly
account balances during the applicable months.  Payments shown in the table
consist of amounts that would be deemed payments of Principal Receivables and
Finance Charge Receivables with respect to the Accounts.

Revenue Experience

     Gross revenues from periodic finance charges and fees billed to
accountholders on accounts contained in the Providian Portfolio for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and for each of the three years ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 are set forth in the following table.  Revenue from the
Receivables will depend on the types of fees and charges assessed on the
Accounts, and could be adversely affected by future changes made by the Banks or
the Servicer in such fees and charges or by other factors.

      the Average Daily Balance for each month in such period.  The Average
      Daily Balance for a month is equal to the average of the Receivables

                           COMPOSITION OF THE ACCOUNTS

     The Receivables in the Accounts as of September 30, 1997 (including
approximately $446,000,000 of Receivables in Accounts added to the Trust after
September 30, 1997 and on or prior to the Series Issuance Date, which Accounts
are included in all figures set forth in this paragraph) included $120,489,683
of Finance Charge Receivables and $6,127,253,740 of Principal Receivables (which
amounts include overdue Finance Charge Receivables and overdue Principal
Receivables, respectively).  As of September 30, 1997, there were 4,366,067
Accounts (including 1,597,047 closed Accounts with a zero balance and 352,623
charged-off Accounts).  As of September 30, 1997, the Accounts had an average
total Principal Receivables balance of $4,218 (excluding 2,911,224 Accounts with
a zero or credit balance and charged-off Accounts) and an average credit limit
of $6,866 (excluding 1,949,670 closed Accounts with a zero balance and
charged-off Accounts).  As of September 30, 1997, the average total Principal
Receivables balance in the Accounts as a percentage of the average credit limit
with respect to the Accounts (excluding 2,911,224 Accounts with a zero or credit
balance and charged-off Accounts in the case of average total Principal
Receivables balance, and with respect to average credit limit, excluding
1,949,670 closed Accounts with a zero balance and charged-off Accounts) was
approximately 61.4%.  As of September 30, 1997, the weighted average age of the
Accounts was 36.1 months.

     The following tables summarize the Accounts by various criteria as of
September 30, 1997.  References to "Receivables Outstanding" in the following
tables include both Finance Charge Receivables and Principal Receivables.
Because the composition of the Accounts will change in the future, these tables
are not necessarily indicative of the future composition of the Accounts.
