             (Date of Event Which Requires Filing of this Statement)


If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report
the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this
schedule because of Rule 13d-1(e), 13d-1(f) or 13d-1(g), check the following 
box [ ].

- ---------------------------- 
* In connection with a public offering (the "Public Offering") of 4,500,000
shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),
TeleBanc Financial Corporation filed a Registration Statement on Form 8-A to
register its Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"). The Securities Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on
July 23, 1998 declared the Form 8-A effective. The reporting person was an
"Exempt Investor" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, because he acquired all of his
securities prior to TeleBanc Financial Corporation registering its Common Stock.
On July 28, 1998, Mr. Caplan purchased 5,000 shares of Common Stock in the
Public Offering. Accordingly, this Schedule 13D is being filed at this time by
the reporting person to report his holdings of Common Stock of TeleBanc
Financial Corporation.
