*    In accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h), the Maximum Aggregate Offering
     Price and Registration Fee have been computed as follows: (a) the price per
     share of the Common Stock of Dime Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") has been
     based on the average of the high and low prices for the Common Stock of the
     Company as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on December 20, 1999,
     and (b) using such price per share, the aggregate amount of the Offering
     Price was then calculated on the basis of the aggregate amount of shares of
     Common Stock of the Company issuable in connection with the Dime Bancorp,
     Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.

     Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this
     Registration Statement also covers the shares of Common Stock previously
     registered under Registration Statement Nos. 333-48127 and 333-64509.


**   300,000 shares of Common Stock were previously registered on this
     Registration Statement, filed with the Commission on September 29, 1999.

Dime Bancorp, Inc.
589 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York 10017

Dear Sirs:

       We have acted as counsel to Dime Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the proposed registration by the Company
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 50,000 shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on the date hereof.

       In rendering this opinion we have examined the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date, and the minutes of the
corporate proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the authorization
of the Shares. We have also examined the originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to us, of the corporate records of the Company,
certificates of public officials and representatives of the Company, and such
other documents and records, and have made such investigations of law, as we
have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion. We have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the original of all copies and
the factual accuracy of all certificates submitted to us.

       On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company and when sold and delivered as contemplated by the Registration
Statement will constitute duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

State of Delaware and the laws of the United States of America.

       We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement. In furnishing this opinion and giving
this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder.
