                               the Class B Certificates is scheduled to be
                               paid on the Class A Expected Final Payment
                               Date and the Class B Expected Final Payment
                               Date, respectively, but may be paid earlier
                               or later under certain circumstances.
                             
Class A Expected Final       
 Payment Date...............  The January 2004 Distribution Date.
 
                             
Class B Expected Final       
 Payment Date...............  The January 2004 Distribution Date.
 
Stated Series Termination    
Date........................  The final distribution of principal and
                               interest on the Certificates will be made no
                               later than the September 2006 Distribution
                               Date (the "Stated Series Termination Date").
                               After the Stated Series Termination Date,
                               the Trust will have no further obligation to
                               pay principal or interest on the
                               Certificates.
 
Subordination of the Class
 B Certificates and the CIA
 Certificates...............
                              The Class B Certificateholders' Interest will
                               be subordinated to the extent necessary to
                               fund certain payments with respect to the
                               Class A Certificates. In addition, the CIA
                               Certificateholders' Interest will be
                               subordinated to the extent necessary to fund
                               certain payments with respect to the Class A
                               Certificates and the Class B Certificates.
                               If the CIA Invested Amount is reduced to
                               zero, the Class B Certificateholders will
                               bear directly the credit and other risks
                               associated with their undivided interest in
                               the Trust. To the extent the Class B
                               Invested Amount is reduced, the percentage
                               of collections of finance charge receivables
                               allocated to the Class B Certificateholders
                               in subsequent Monthly Periods will be
                               reduced. Moreover, to the extent the amount
                               of such reduction in the Class B Invested
                               Amount is not reimbursed, the amount of
                               principal distributable to the Class B
                               Certificateholders will be reduced.
 
ERISA Considerations........  If certain conditions are satisfied,
                               including that upon completion of the public
                               offering thereof interests in the Class A

                               Department of Labor. In such event, the
                               purchase and holding of Class A Certificates
                               by an employee benefit plan (or other entity
                               deemed to hold assets of such a plan) would
                               not cause the assets of the Trust to be
                               deemed "plan assets" of any such plan
                               subject to the prohibited transaction rules
                               of the Employee Retirement Income Security

                               Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Further
                               information regarding the status of the
                               Class A Certificates as publicly offered
                               securities will be provided in the
                               Prospectus Supplement. Accordingly, plan
                               investors contemplating the purchase of
                               Class A Certificates should consult their
                               counsel and review "ERISA Considerations" in
                               the Prospectus and "Summary of Terms--ERISA

                               prior to making any purchase of Class A
                               Certificates.
 
                              The Underwriters currently do not expect the
                               Class B Certificates to qualify as publicly
                               offered securities and, accordingly, the
                               Class B Certificates may not be purchased by
                               employee benefit plans (or entities deemed
                               to hold assets of such plans, including

                       THE BANK'S CREDIT CARD PORTFOLIO
 
DELINQUENCY AND LOSS EXPERIENCE
 
  The following tables set forth the delinquency and loss experience for each
of the periods shown for the portfolio of VISA and MasterCard credit card
accounts serviced by the Bank (the "Bank Portfolio"). As of the close of
business on October 31, 1996, the Receivables in the Trust Portfolio
(including the Receivables in the additional Accounts added to the Trust on
November 13, 1996 and certain additional Accounts to be added to the Trust on
the Closing Date) represented approximately 94.7% of the Bank Portfolio. The
accounts in the Bank Portfolio that are not included in the Trust Portfolio
are primarily newly originated accounts with lower delinquency and loss rates
than the average accounts in the Trust Portfolio which are generally more
seasoned. Therefore, the actual delinquency and loss experience with respect
to the Receivables in the Trust Portfolio may be different from that set forth
below. There can be no assurance that the delinquency and loss experience for
the Trust Portfolio will be similar to the historical experience set forth
below because, among other things, economic and financial conditions affecting
the ability of cardholders to make payments may be different from those that
have prevailed during the periods reflected in the tables below.

RECEIVABLE YIELD CONSIDERATIONS
 
  The portfolio yield on the Bank Portfolio for each of the three fiscal years
contained in the period ended June 30, 1996 and for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 is set forth in the following table. The portfolio yields
in the table are calculated on an accrual basis. The portfolio yield on
Receivables included in the Trust is calculated on a cash basis. Portfolio
yields calculated on an accrual basis may differ from portfolio yields
calculated on a cash basis due to (a) a lag between when finance charges and
fees are charged to cardholder accounts and when such finance charges and fees
are collected and (b) finance charges and fees that are not ultimately
collected from the cardholder. However, during the three fiscal years
contained in the period ended June 30, 1996 and for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, portfolio yield on an accrual basis approximated portfolio
yield on a cash basis. Portfolio yield on both an accrual and a cash basis
will also be affected by numerous factors, including changes in the monthly
periodic rates, variations in the rate of payments and new borrowings on the
Accounts, the amount of the annual membership fees and other charges, changes
in the delinquency and loss rates on the Receivables and the percentage of
cardholders who pay their balances in full each month and do not incur
periodic finance charges. Interchange allocated to the Trust with respect to
the Receivables may vary from the amounts included in the table below because
interchange will be included in the Trust on an estimated basis by initially
treating 1.3% of collections on the Receivables, other than collections with
respect to periodic finance charges, annual membership fees and other charges,
as discount Receivables.

  The increase in portfolio yield for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 and
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 reflects changes in the overall
pricing distribution of the Bank Portfolio. The decline in portfolio yield for
fiscal year 1995 is primarily the result of the Bank's focus on the direct
solicitation of low-rate, no annual fee credit cards which on average had a
lower introductory rate and which had the effect of lowering finance charge
income and annual fee income. The accounts in the Bank Portfolio that are not
included in the Trust Portfolio are primarily newly originated accounts with a
greater proportion of Receivables arising under accounts generated under this
type of solicitation than the average accounts in the Trust Portfolio, which
are more seasoned. Therefore, the actual portfolio yield with respect to the
Receivables in the Trust Portfolio may be different from that set forth above.
 
                                THE RECEIVABLES
 
  The Receivables in the Accounts selected from the Bank Portfolio included
and to be included in the Trust on the basis of criteria set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Trust Portfolio") (including the
additional Accounts added to the Trust on November 13, 1996 and certain
additional Accounts designated to be added to the Trust on the Closing Date)
as of the close of business on October 31, 1996, consisted of $18,565,928,066
of principal Receivables and $525,958,173 of finance charge Receivables. On
October 24, 1996 (the "Relevant Cut Off Date"), the Transferor designated
additional Accounts, which included approximately $619,520,866 of principal
Receivables as of the close of business on October 31, 1996, and will transfer
the Receivables arising therein to the Trust on the Closing Date. The
Transferor may determine to add to the Trust on or about the Closing Date, in
compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
Receivables in additional Accounts in addition to those reflected in the two
preceding sentences. The additional Accounts to be added to the Trust on the
Closing Date were, as of the Relevant Cut Off Date, Eligible Accounts. The
Accounts had an average principal Receivable balance of $1,888 (including
accounts with a zero balance) and an average credit limit of $7,218. The
percentage of the aggregate total Receivable balance to the aggregate total
credit limit was 26.9%.
 
  As of October 31, 1996, cardholders whose Accounts are included in the Trust
Portfolio, including such additional Accounts, had billing addresses in 50
states, the District of Columbia and other United States territories and
possessions. As of October 31, 1996, 67% of the Accounts, including such
additional Accounts, were premium accounts and 33% were standard accounts, and
the aggregate principal Receivable balances of premium accounts and standard
accounts, as a percentage of the aggregate total principal receivables, were
77% and 23%, respectively.
 
  The following tables summarize the Trust Portfolio (including the additional
Accounts added to the Trust on November 13, 1996 and certain additional
Accounts designated to be added to the Trust on the Closing Date) by various
criteria as of the close of business on October 31, 1996. Because the future
composition of the Trust Portfolio may change over time, these tables are not
necessarily indicative of the composition of the Trust Portfolio at any
subsequent time. The Transferor may determine to add to the Trust on or about
the Closing Date, in compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, Receivables in additional Accounts in addition to those
reflected in the tables below.

  Since the largest number of cardholders (based on billing addresses) whose
accounts were included in the Trust as of October 31, 1996 were in California,
Texas, New York, Florida and Illinois, adverse changes in the economic
conditions in these areas could have a direct impact on the timing and amount
of payments on the Certificates.
