          THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1995


BANKERS TRUST EARNINGS INCREASED 70% OVER SECOND QUARTER 1995; RETURN ON
EQUITY WAS 14%


New York, October 19, 1995 -- Bankers Trust New York Corporation earned
$155 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, or $1.72 primary
earnings per share.  Return on average common equity for the third quarter
of 1995 was 14%.  The Corporation earned $91 million, or $.98 primary
earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  In the third
quarter of 1994, the Corporation earned $169 million, or $1.98 primary
earnings per share.

"During the third quarter, our focus on the development of strong and
enduring client relationships continued in full force," said Chairman
Charles S. Sanford, Jr.  "This effort, which has great potential for
helping to build future profits, is already producing hoped-for results.
In that regard, especially significant in the third quarter were a swing of
$50 million in net income in our client financial risk management business
and an exceptionally strong profit contribution from merchant banking
investments.  In addition, the doubling of combined trading and trading-
related net interest revenue from the second quarter resulted from improved
performance in both our proprietary and client-driven trading activities.

"Also contributing to the 14% return on equity was further progress in
implementing the Firm's expense reduction programs, which are on track for
producing savings of $200 million this year and $275 million in 1996.  In
all, the quarter's results reflect continued and strong progress toward the
return to competitive earnings that has been management's goal for 1995."

Revenue
Net interest revenue totaled $204 million, down $60 million, or 23%, from
the third quarter of 1994 and down $18 million, or 8% from the second
quarter of 1995.  The third quarter of 1995 included $20 million of
<PAGE>

trading-related net interest revenue, down $92 million and $37 million from
the third quarter of 1994 and second quarter of 1995, respectively.  A
significant portion of the Firm's trading and risk management activities
involve positions in interest rate instruments and related derivatives.
The revenue from these activities can periodically shift between trading
and net interest, depending on a variety of factors, including risk
management strategies.  Therefore, the Corporation views trading revenue
and trading-related net interest revenue together, which are presented
below.

Third Quarter 1995                        $257     $20     $277

Second Quarter 1995                        $79     $57     $136

Third Quarter 1994                        $278    $112     $390
</TABLE>

Although the results were below those of the same period in 1994, the
doubling of combined trading revenue and trading-related net interest
revenue from the second quarter of 1995 is evidence of the transition
towards improvement in profitability.  The current quarter's results were
primarily attributable to higher revenue from both client-related and
proprietary trading in foreign exchange markets and the continued
improvement in performance of the Firm's client derivatives business.
Trading results in the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America were
comparable to the second quarter of 1995, but were lower than the prior
year's exceptionally strong results.

Fiduciary and funds management revenue totaled $174 million for the third
quarter, down $14 million, or 7%, from the same period last year.  The
decrease in revenue was due primarily to a decline in transaction volumes
in global fiduciary services.  The $174 million of revenue for the third
quarter was up $8 million, or 5%, from the second quarter of 1995.  This
increase was attributable to higher fiduciary revenue from retirement
services and securities lending activities.

<PAGE>

Fees and commissions of $152 million decreased by $11 million, or 7%, from
the third quarter of 1994.  Corporate finance fees of $74 million decreased
by $2 million, or 3%, from the same period last year.  Lower revenue from
commercial banking and securities underwriting fees were partially offset
by higher revenue from financial advisory and loan syndication activities.
Compared with this year's exceptionally strong second quarter, fees and
commissions were down $59 million, or 28%, as corporate finance fees
decreased by $53 million, or 42%, as a result of lower revenue from loan
syndication and private placement fees.

The Corporation's securities available for sale gains were $10 million,
compared with $28 million in the prior year's third quarter and $17 million
in the second quarter of 1995.

Other noninterest revenue totaled $162 million, up $112 million from the
prior year's quarter.  The largest component of this increase was an $81
million rise in net revenue from client-related equity investment
transactions, as the current quarter included a $62 million gain on the
sale of a portion of the Corporation's merchant banking investment in
Northwest Airlines.  Also contributing to the increase in other noninterest
revenue was higher insurance premium revenue from operations in Chile.  The
1994 third quarter had included charges related to the funds management
business.  The $162 million of other noninterest revenue for the third
quarter of 1995 was up $48 million, or 42%, from the second quarter of
1995, primarily as a result of the above-mentioned net revenue from equity
investment transactions.

Expenses
Total noninterest expenses of $728 million increased by $15 million, or 2%,
from the third quarter of 1994.  Incentive compensation and employee
benefits expense decreased $10 million, or 5%.  Salaries expense decreased
$4 million, or 2%, from the third quarter of 1994, mostly due to a 2%
decrease in the average number of employees.  The number of full time staff
at September 30, 1995 was 13,808, a net decrease of 721 from December 31,
1994.  Management has implemented expense reduction programs designed to
reduce overall operating expenses -- principally noninterest expenses
before bonus, policyholder benefits and minority interest.  The Corporation
<PAGE>

previously announced that it would be reducing these expenses, as compared
to the annualized fourth quarter 1994 amounts, by approximately $200
million in 1995 and approximately $275 million in 1996.

All other expenses totaled $345 million for the quarter, up $29 million, or
9%, from last year's third quarter.  The provision for policyholder
benefits and professional fees accounted for this increase.

Asset Quality
The provision for credit losses was $7 million for the current quarter,
compared with $17 million in the prior year's third quarter and no
provision in the second quarter of 1995.  Net charge-offs for the quarter
were $218 million, compared with $28 million a year ago.

The current quarter included leveraged derivative contract charge-offs of
$205 million against the allowance for credit losses.  During the fourth
quarter of 1994, $423 million of leveraged derivative contracts that had
been reclassified as receivables in the loan portfolio were placed on a
cash basis.  Of this amount, $72 million was then charged-off leaving a
balance of $351 million.  Since then some of these receivables have been
satisfactorily settled, but in line with the Corporation's credit policies,
a $205 million portion of the remaining balance has been charged-off.  This
action does not reflect a change in our stated intention to vigorously seek
collection in full of the receivables owed to the Corporation.

Largely as a result of this action, cash basis loans decreased by $173
million, or 19%, to $752 million during the third quarter.  The allowance
for credit losses at September 30, 1995, was $1.032 billion, representing
137% of cash basis loans.

The allowance for credit losses is available for credit losses arising from
the Corporation's portfolio, which is comprised of loans, credit-related
commitments, derivatives and other financial instruments.  In the opinion
of management, the allowance, when taken as a whole, is adequate to absorb
reasonably estimated credit losses inherent in the Corporation's portfolio,
as defined above.

Nine Months Results
For the first nine months of 1995, the Corporation earned $124 million, or
$1.09 primary earnings per share, excluding an after-tax provision for
severance-related costs of $35 million taken in connection with the
Corporation's expense reduction programs.  Net income for the first nine
months, including the effect of this provision, was $89 million, or $.66
primary earnings per share.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994
the Corporation earned $514 million, or $5.97 primary earnings per share.

Capital
Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 1995 was $5.061 billion, an
increase of $357 million compared to December 31, 1994 and an increase of
$172 million compared to June 30, 1995.

The Corporation estimates that its ratios of Tier 1 Capital and Total
Capital to risk-adjusted assets were approximately 8.00% and 12.90%,
respectively, at September 30, 1995.  The Leverage Ratio was 5.50% at that
same date.

        FRANK NEWMAN NAMED TO SUCCEED CHARLES SANFORD
              AS BANKERS TRUST CHAIRMAN AND CEO


     New York, Oct. 19, 1995 -- The Board of Directors of
Bankers Trust New York Corporation announced today that
Frank N. Newman has been unanimously elected to succeed
Charles S. Sanford, Jr., as chairman and chief executive
officer of both the Corporation and its principal banking
subsidiary, Bankers Trust Company.

     Mr. Newman was elected president today and will assume
the chief executive responsibilities on January 1, 1996.  He
will become chairman and CEO upon Mr. Sanford's retirement
on April 16, 1996, following the Corporation's annual
meeting of shareholders.

     Eugene B. Shanks, Jr., has advised the Board of his
decision to resign as president and as a director of Bankers
Trust effective immediately.

     "I appreciate the confidence that the Board has shown
in me, and I welcome the challenge that comes with this
responsibility," said Mr. Newman. "I look forward to working
with the exceptionally talented, innovative and dedicated
people who are Bankers Trust. As we build on Charlie
Sanford's considerable achievements, our principal
commitment will be to serve our clients faithfully, with the
highest standards of professionalism, and our strongest
conviction will be that, for Bankers Trust, the best is yet
to be."

     Speaking for the Board, Director Hamish Maxwell said,
"Frank Newman has demonstrated leadership qualities of the
highest order during his distinguished career as a banking
executive and as a senior government official. We are
confident that the future leadership of Bankers Trust is
being placed in extraordinarily competent hands. We had
hoped that Gene Shanks would decide to continue his service
with Bankers Trust, but we understand his decision and
accept it with regret."


                          - more -
     "I am disappointed, of course, that I will not have the
opportunity to serve as Bankers Trust's CEO, but I will
leave with a sense of accomplishment that comes from having
made a contribution to the building of a strong and durable
franchise, with great memories from my association with a
group of exceptional people over the past 20 years, and with
anticipation of new and different challenges ahead," said
Mr. Shanks.

     Mr. Sanford, who announced in May of this year his
plans to retire, said "Bankers Trust brings great strengths
to the challenges that lie ahead: financial strength,
product strength and diversity, strong local operations that
form a world class global network, superb people and, in
Frank Newman, an outstanding leader."

     Mr. Newman, who is 53 years old, served until last
month in the Clinton Administration as deputy secretary of
the Treasury under Secretaries Lloyd Bentsen and Robert
Rubin. He was also chief operating officer for the Treasury
Department's operating bureaus, policy offices and 160,000
employees. In recognition of his service to Treasury, Mr.
Newman received the Alexander Hamilton Award, the highest
honor bestowed upon department officials by the Secretary of
the Treasury.  He joined Treasury after 24 years in the
banking industry, most recently with BankAmerica
Corporation, where he was vice chairman of the Board and
chief financial officer and where he played a key role in
that company's growth and success from 1986 to 1993.
