Item 5.        Other Events.

On October 18, 1995 Advanta Corporation announced record quarterly
earnings for the third quarter 1995 with net income of $34.9
million and earnings per share of $.81, increases of 30% and
25%, respectively, over the $26.8 million and $.65 per share
results reported for the third quarter 1994.  The third
quarter 1995 earnings per share figure reflects a 5%
increase in shares primarily due to the August issuance of
mandatorily convertible preferred shares.  Earnings for the
second quarter 1995 totalled $33.4 million or $.80 per
share. From September 30, 1994,  the Company's portfolio of
managed receivables increased by $3.7 billion or 55% to
$10.3 billion at September 30, 1995.

Highlights for the third quarter include the following
items:

   Managed credit card receivables at September 30 of $8.3 billion
   reflected a 62% increase over the $5.1 billion level of last 
   September.

   Approximately 263,000 new credit card accounts were added, 
   raising the total number of managed credit card accounts
   outstanding to 4,357,000.  For the comparable quarter in 1994,
   192,000 new accounts were added.
   
   Addition of approximately $90 million in equity from an
   offering of mandatorily convertible preferred stock.

   The operating expense ratio as a percent of average managed 
   receivables dropped to 2.72% versus 3.40% from the year ago
   period.

   The consolidated 30+ day delinquency rate increased to 3.0%, 
   from 2.9% in the third quarter last year.
      
   The consolidated managed charge-off rate increased to 2.3%, 
   compared to 2.2% a year ago.

   Managed net interest margin for the quarter was 5.64%, lower 
   than the 5.96% reported for the previous quarter and 6.79%
   reported in the third quarter of 1994.  The third quarter margin 
   reflects the impact of introductory pricing on a large volume of 
   new credit card receivables.
