   FOR RELEASE:  June 27, 1997

                 BANC ONE COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF FIRST USA
   BANC ONE CORPORATION, Columbus, Ohio (NYSE:ONE) John B. McCoy, Chairman
   and Chief Executive Officer of BANC ONE CORPORATION, announced today
   that BANC ONE has completed the acquisition of First USA, Inc.
   (NYSE:FUS), headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

   First USA, Inc. is a financial services company specializing in the
   credit card business and is currently the fourth largest among domestic
   Visa and MasterCard issuers with $23.2 billion in managed receivables
   and 16.3 million cardholders.  The combination of First USA's operations
   with BANC ONE's 16.0 million cardholders and $11.9 billion in managed
   card receivables will produce the nation's third-largest card operation
   with 32.3 million cardholders and card assets of $35.1 billion.

   Terms of the agreement called for First USA shareholders to receive
   1.1659 shares of BANC ONE stock for each share of First USA.  The value
   of the transaction is approximately $56.84 a First USA share or $7.9
   billion based on BANC ONE's closing share price on Thursday, June 26,
   1997.  Information will be mailed promptly to First USA stockholders
   with instructions for submitting their First USA stock certificates for
   exchange into BANC ONE common stock certificates.

   BANC ONE Chairman McCoy said, "We are absolutely delighted to have 
   First USA join BANC ONE.  First USA is a superb financial services
   company that has achieved a leadership position in the credit card
   industry with the best five-year compounded annual growth rate in
   earnings in the industry.  First USA will add a powerful new dimension
   to our competitive arsenal and significantly change the way BANC ONE 
   can complete in the consumer financial services business."

   McCoy continued,  "Over the last decade, specialized issuers and
   processors have developed a great economy-of-scale and skill advantage
   over other operations.  This advantage enables specialized issuers to
   offer a broader product line and pricing options that are not 
   economical for other issuers to match.  First USA is well known for its
   low-cost structure, its marketing savvy and its cutting-edge 
   technology.  We believe they are the leader among the credit card
   companies in the United States today."

   John C. Tolleson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of First USA,
   said,  "We couldn't be more pleased to be merging with a company with
   such a fine reputation.  Our combined strength will enable

                                    -more-

   us to offer a broader range of financial services to our existing
   customer base.  This is a winning transaction for customers, employees
   and shareholders of BANC ONE and First USA, and is a significant event
   in the financial services industry."

   Tolleson founded First USA in 1985 and has been Chairman and Chief
   Executive Officer since then.  Under the agreement, he will become a
   member of BANC ONE's Board of Directors and will turn over the day-to-
   day operations of First USA after completion of the merger to Richard 
   W. Vague, who co-founded First USA with Tolleson and is currently
   Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of First USA Bank and President of
   First USA, Inc.  Vague has become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
   of First USA.

   Regarding the merger, Vague said,  "With the merger, a top priority is
   to drive growth and earnings and to achieve the economies of scale made
   possible by our new combined size.  Both organizations possess a wealth
   of experience and knowledge that we intend to aggressively apply to our
   combined customer base.  We will market our credit card products through
   BANC ONE's extensive branch system in addition to our traditional
   distribution channels.  In turn, BANC ONE's broad and appealing product
   line can be marketed directly to the combined credit card customer base
   of 32.3 million credit worthy individuals.  Also, we feel that the scale
   and resources of the new organization are a huge asset as we seek to
   grow the affinity and co-brand business and take market share away from
   competitors.  Our management team recognizes the long-term opportunities
   that will result from combining our two organizations.  We're very
   excited and look forward with great commitment to seeing those
   opportunities maximized."

   BANC ONE CORPORATION had assets of $101.6 billion and common      
   equity of $8.2 billion at March 31, 1997.  BANC ONE now operates 1,502
   offices in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
   Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.  BANC ONE also
   owns several additional corporations that engage in credit card and
   merchant processing, consumer finance, mortgage banking, insurance,
   venture capital, investment and merchant baking, trust, brokerage,
