                             PNC BANK CORP. REPORTS
                    HIGHER SECOND QUARTER 1999 CORE EARNINGS

       PITTSBURGH, July 15, 1999 - PNC Bank Corp. (NYSE: PNC) today reported
second quarter 1999 earnings of $315 million or $1.03 per diluted share. Core
earnings for the quarter were $299 million or $0.98 per diluted share and, on
that basis, return on average common shareholders' equity was 21.21% and return
on average assets was 1.60%. Reported results included a $16 million net
after-tax gain or $.05 per diluted share resulting from the sale of Concord EFS,
Inc. (Concord) stock partially offset by a contribution to the PNC Bank
Foundation. Earnings for the second quarter of 1998 were $280 million or $0.90
per diluted share.

         "Our second quarter performance was strong by every major measure,"
said Thomas H. O'Brien, chairman and chief executive officer. "We have seen
continued growth across a broad range of businesses, particularly asset
management, treasury management, capital markets and other fee-driven areas.
This has further strengthened our revenue mix, with core noninterest income
increasing 21% over 1998 levels."


SECOND QUARTER 1999 HIGHLIGHTS

         o        Putting the business on a comparable basis in each period,
                  core diluted earnings per share increased 13% compared with
                  the prior-year quarter (excluding the credit card business and
                  assuming the provision for credit losses was equal to net
                  charge-offs in 1998).

         o        PNC's revenue mix continued to improve over 1998 levels fueled
                  by double-digit growth in asset management, mutual fund
                  servicing, consumer services, mortgage banking and corporate
                  services revenues.

         o        Average deposits increased $1.3 billion in the year-to-year
                  comparison primarily reflecting growth in the regional bank.

         o        The efficiency ratio improved to 54.6% from 56.3% a year ago
                  reflecting a continued focus on improving returns in
                  traditional businesses.

         o        Net charge-offs declined to 0.18% of average loans while
                  nonperforming assets remained stable.


INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

         Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $612 million in the second
quarter of 1999, a $25 million decrease compared with the prior-year quarter.
The net interest margin was 3.64% for the second quarter of 1999 compared with
3.81% in the second quarter of 1998. These declines were primarily due to the
sale of the credit card business in the first quarter of 1999. Excluding the
credit card business, second quarter 1998 net interest income was $563 million
and the net interest margin was 3.59%.

         The provision for credit losses was $25 million in the second quarter
of 1999 and net charge-offs were $24 million.

         Noninterest income increased 17% compared with the second quarter of
1998 to $664 million in the second quarter of 1999 and included a $41 million
gain related to the sale of PNC Bank's investment in Concord. Excluding this
gain from the current year and $56 million of branch gains recorded in the
second quarter of 1998, core noninterest income increased $110 million or 21%
compared with the prior-year quarter driven by higher fee income.

         Asset management fees grew 23% primarily reflecting new business and
market appreciation. Assets under management increased to approximately $189
billion at June 30, 1999 compared with $151 billion at June 30, 1998. Mutual
fund servicing fees grew 15% compared with the second quarter of 1998 due to an
increase in assets serviced. At June 30, 1999, PFPC Worldwide provided custody
and accounting/administration services for $349 billion and $244 billion of
mutual fund assets, respectively. The comparable amounts were $281 billion and
$226 billion, respectively, a year ago.

         Consumer services revenue increased $12 million or 13% compared with
the second quarter of 1998 primarily due to an increase in brokerage and other
fees associated with the Hilliard Lyons acquisition, partly offset by lower
credit card fees. Corporate services revenue increased $26 million or 42%
compared with the prior-year quarter primarily due to growth in commercial
mortgage, capital markets and treasury management fees.

         Net residential mortgage banking revenue grew $14 million or 25%
compared with the prior-year quarter primarily due to growth in the servicing
portfolio. Residential mortgage originations, including both retail and
correspondent activity, totaled $12 billion compared with $8 billion in the
prior-year period. At June 30, 1999, approximately $71.3 billion of residential
mortgages were serviced, including $64.2 billion serviced for others.

         Net securities gains were $42 million in the second quarter of 1999
primarily related to the sale of Concord stock.

         Other noninterest income decreased $39 million compared with the second
quarter of 1998 primarily due to $56 million of gains on sales of branches in
the prior-year quarter.

         Noninterest expense of $767 million increased 4% compared with the
second quarter of 1998 commensurate with revenue growth in fee-based businesses.
The efficiency ratio improved to 54.6% compared with 56.3% in the prior-year
quarter due to a continued focus on improving returns in traditional businesses.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

       Total assets were $75.6 billion at June 30, 1999 compared with $75.9
billion at June 30, 1998. Average earning assets were relatively consistent with
the prior-year quarter at $66.9 billion. Average loans decreased $2.8 billion to
$52.5 billion primarily due to the impact of the sale of the credit card
business. Loans represented 78% of average earning assets in the second quarter
of 1999 compared with 83% a year ago. Average loans held for sale increased to
$3.7 billion in the second quarter of 1999 compared with $2.9 billion in the
prior-year quarter primarily as a result of the decision in the first quarter of
1999 to exit certain institutional lending businesses. Average securities
available for sale increased $2.1 billion to $9.4 billion and represented 14%
and 11% of average earning assets in the second quarter of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase was attributable to securities held to hedge
residential mortgage servicing rights.

1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. Net charge-offs were $24 million or 0.18%
of average loans in the second quarter of 1999 compared with $78 million or
0.56% in the first quarter of 1999 and $89 million or 0.64% a year ago.
