             THE BANK OF NEW YORK COMPANY, INC. REPORTS 
             ------------------------------------------

NEW YORK, N.Y., July 14, 1997 -- The Bank of New York Company, Inc. (NYSE:
BK) reports second quarter fully diluted earnings per share were a record
67 cents, up 14% from the 59 cents earned on a normalized basis in the
second quarter of 1996.  Second quarter net income was $269 million, up
9% from the $248 million earned on a normalized basis in the same period
last year.  In the second quarter of 1996, the Company reported a net gain
of $31 million, or 7 cents per share, on the sale of its Union credit card

$1.31 for the first half of 1997, up 14% from the $1.15 earned on a

record $534 million, an increase of 9% over last year's $491 million on
a normalized basis.

     Return on average assets for the second quarter was 1.83% compared 
with 1.86% in the first quarter of 1997 and 1.82% on a normalized basis
in the second quarter of 1996.  Return on average common equity was a
record, on a normalized basis, of 21.84% in the second quarter of 1997
compared with 20.90% in the first quarter of 1997 and 19.51% in the second
quarter of 1996.  With the net gain on the sale included, return on
average assets and return on average common equity were 2.05% and 21.97%
in the second quarter of 1996. 
     Tangible fully diluted earnings per share (earnings before the
amortization of goodwill and intangibles) were $0.72 per share in the
second quarter of 1997 compared with $0.64 on a normalized basis in the
second quarter of 1996.  On the same basis, tangible return on average
assets was 2.01% in the second quarter of 1997 compared with a normalized
2.02% in the second quarter of 1996; and tangible return on average common
equity was 31.75% in the second quarter of 1997 compared with a normalized
27.59% in the second quarter of 1996.
     Revenues from the Company's securities processing businesses
continued their strong broad based performance and were up 18% over the
second quarter of 1996 to $190 million.  ADR's, corporate trust,
government securities clearance, mutual funds, and stock transfer were
particularly strong.
     Fees from other processing, which includes funds transfer, cash
management, and trade finance, grew 14% over last year's second quarter
with strong growth in all areas.
     Trust and investment continued to benefit from new business and
strong markets in the second quarter of 1997 which combined to increase

<PAGE> 3

fees 11% to $44 million compared with $40 million last year.   
     Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, totaled $489
million in the second quarter down from $502 million in the second quarter
of last year due to the sale of $4.3 billion in credit cards.  
     Average fully diluted shares outstanding were 399 million for the
quarter, down from the 405 million in the first quarter and down 
significantly from the 418 million in the prior year period.  The decline
from the first quarter and prior year was the result of the Company's
stock buyback program.
     The Company's estimated Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios
remained strong at 7.83% and 11.99% at June 30, 1997 compared with 7.92%
and 12.28% at March 31, 1997, and 7.98% and 12.93% at June 30, 1996. 
Tangible common equity as a percent of total assets was 5.88% at June 30,
1997 compared with 6.39% at March 31, 1997 and 7.51% one year ago.  The
leverage ratio was 8.04% at June 30, 1997 compared with 7.83% at March 31,
1997 and 7.76% one year ago.

quarter of 1997 and from $502 million in the second quarter of 1996.  The
net interest rate spread was 3.12% in the second quarter of 1997, compared
with 3.30% in the first quarter of 1997 and 3.34% one year ago.  The net
yield on interest-earning assets was 4.08% compared with 4.24% in the
first quarter of 1997 and 4.28% in last year's second quarter. 
     For the first six months of 1997, net interest income, on a taxable
equivalent basis, amounted to $986 million compared with $1,024 million
in the first half of 1996.  The year-to-date net interest rate spread was
3.21% in 1997 compared with 3.41% in 1996, while the net yield on
interest-earning assets was 4.16% in 1997 and 4.39% in 1996.
     The declines in net interest income, the spread, and the yield were
primarily attributable to the sale of approximately $900 million of credit
card receivables in the first quarter of 1997 and $3.4 billion of credit
card receivables in June of 1996, partially offset by continued growth in
the Company's corporate loan portfolio.

     Nonperforming assets totaled $243 million at June 30, 1997, compared

building in Pennsylvania.  Subsequent to June 30, 1997 a substantial loan
to a retailer became nonperforming.
