    Citicorp today reported that net income in the 1996 second
quarter was $952 million, an increase of 12% from the same 1995
quarter.
     Earnings per fully diluted common share were $1.86, compared
with $1.57 in the 1995 second quarter, an increase of 18%.
     Net income in the six months totaled $1.9 billion, up 11%
from the 1995 first half.  Per share earnings were $3.61 in the
1996 half and $3.09 in the comparable 1995 period.
     John S. Reed, Citicorp Chairman, said:  "It was a solid
quarter.  We continue to be on plan and are making good progress
in implementing our Business Directions strategy."
     Against Citicorp's Business Directions financial performance
targets, the company in the quarter achieved a 12% earnings gain,
a return on common equity of 20.8%, a ratio of incremental
revenue to expense of 2.1 to 1, and generation of an estimated
$700 million of free capital.
     Mr. Reed added:  "Our consumer businesses are expanding,
especially in Asia and Latin America, and our business with
corporations in the Emerging Markets is showing excellent
results, reinforced by the continuing successful repositioning of
Global Relationship Banking."
     Citicorp's consumer businesses--Citibanking, Cards and the
Private Bank--earned $491 million on adjusted revenue of $3.3
billion, which was up 9% from the 1995 second quarter.
     Net income from serving corporate banking customers
worldwide was $644 million, an increase of 15% from the 1995
second quarter.  The Emerging Markets business earned $433
million on revenue of $853 million, which increased 12%.  Global
Relationship Banking earned $211 million on revenue of $944
million, which declined 7% from the 1995 quarter.
     Credit costs, including securitized cards, were $735
million, up from $721 million in the preceding quarter and $639
million in the 1995 second quarter.  At June 30, 1996, total
reserves (including reserves for sold portfolios) were $5.9
billion.
     Citicorp continued to build its reserves for possible credit
losses, adding $50 million above net credit losses, primarily
related to Cards, consistent with the practice in recent
quarters.
     The company bought back 9.6 million shares of common stock
during the quarter for $777 million under its announced stock
repurchase plan.  Total repurchases in the 1996 first half were
19.2 million shares for $1.5 billion.
     Tier 1 capital was $19.1 billion, total capital was
estimated at $28.1 billion, and the Tier 1 and total capital
ratios were estimated at 8.4% and 12.3%, respectively.  The ratio
of common equity to total assets was 6.7%.

     The 13% improvement in net income from the 1995 second
quarter was led by Citibanking, up 30%, and the Private Bank, up
60%, while Cards earnings declined 5%.  Consumer credit costs
were $762 million, up from $706 million in the preceding quarter
and $616 million in the 1995 second quarter, chiefly because of a
rise in credit losses in the U.S. bankcard business.
     The net credit loss ratio was 2.38% in the quarter, compared
with 2.19% and 1.99% in the 1996 preceding quarter and the 1995
second quarter, respectively.  The managed consumer loan
delinquency ratio was 2.91% at June 30, 1996, compared with 3.03%
at the end of the preceding quarter and 3.14% at the end of the
prior-year second quarter.
     On a geographic basis, net income from consumer activities
in the emerging markets increased by 16% to $226 million from the
1995 second quarter, while net income in the developed markets
improved by 10% to $265 million.


Citibanking
Citibanking--business through Citibank's worldwide branch network
and electronic delivery systems--earned $177 million, a gain of
30%, from the 1995 second quarter.  Pretax income of $262 million
was 22% higher than in the same year-earlier quarter.


     Revenue and expense both increased 8%, with the higher
expense largely reflecting investment spending on branded
distribution designed to enhance customer service, particularly
to support electronic banking and the further conversion of
existing branches and opening of Model Branches, the standard for
Citibanking offices.  At June 30, 1996, the number of Model
Branches was 507, which is approximately 44% of consumer branches
worldwide, after the addition of 30 new Model Branches in the
quarter.
     In the year since Citibank began eliminating fees for most
electronic banking in the United States, enrollment in PC banking
products increased six-fold.  Citibank in Hong Kong introduced PC
banking during the 1996 second quarter, joining Brazil, the
United Kingdom and the United States as the fourth country to
offer banking through personal computers.
     Credit costs of $161 million were down 10%, and the credit
loss ratio was 0.99%, compared with 0.97% in the preceding
quarter and 1.14% in the second quarter of last year.  Managed
loans delinquent 90 days or more were $2.7 billion, compared with
$2.8 billion in both the preceding quarter and the 1995 second
quarter, representing delinquency ratios of 4.05%, 4.18% and
4.37%, respectively.
     Customer investment assets under management by Citibank
Global Asset Management, a part of Investment Products and
Distribution which oversees the activities of over 200 local,
regional and global funds around the world, exceeded $80 billion
at June 30, 1996.  Because these investment assets include those
for Citibanking customers, Private Banking clients and
corporations, the financial results of managing these funds are
reflected in each of those businesses.  During the quarter,
CitiSelect portfolios, which are designed to simplify asset
allocation, were introduced in eight Asian countries and in the
United States.


Cards
The Cards business worldwide--bankcards, Diners Club and private
label credit cards--earned $242 million in the quarter, down $13
million, or 5%, from the 1995 second quarter.  The emerging
markets business represented approximately 30% of Cards earnings,
compared with 26% in the prior-year quarter.  Pretax income was
$351 million, compared with $390 million in the same year-ago
quarter.
     Revenue in the U.S. bankcard business was up 12%; and
emerging markets card revenue was 25% higher.   Revenue in other
markets and products was down 9%, primarily because of declines
in the private label business.
     Expense in U.S. bankcards was down 5% from last year's
second quarter.  Expense in emerging market cards was up 25% from
the prior year, reflecting expansion of the business.
     Cards were successfully introduced in the quarter in the
Bahamas, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Jamaica, Turkey and Venezuela
following recent introductions in the Dominican Republic and
Peru.  Citibank AAdvantage cards have been introduced in 1996
into six Latin American countries, bringing to 11 the number of
Latin countries, plus Puerto Rico, where Citibank has made this
premium card available in recent years.
     The number of cards in force worldwide (including
affiliates) exceeded 59 million at the end of the quarter.
Charge volumes in the U.S. bankcards business increased $2.3
billion, or 10.8%, from the 1995 second quarter, while charge
volumes on Citicorp-issued cards in Asia Pacific jumped 26%.
     Managed card receivables in the U.S. bankcards business grew
from the year-ago quarter by $2.3 billion, or 5.6%, to $42.8
billion at June 30, 1996, and were up slightly from $42.6 billion
at the end of the 1996 first quarter.  The reduced growth
compared with the prior quarter was due to competition, tighter
credit standards and seasonality.
     Credit costs for worldwide cards increased to $611 million
from $547 million in the 1996 first quarter and $422 million in
the 1995 second quarter.  Consistent with broad industry trends,
net credit losses in the managed U.S. bankcards portfolio
increased to $522 million, up $55 million from the 1996 first
quarter and up $159 million from the 1995 second quarter.  The
loss ratio in that portfolio rose to 4.99% in the second quarter
from 4.38% in the 1996 first quarter and 3.75% in the 1995 second
quarter, while loans that were delinquent 90 days or more totaled
$732 million, or 1.73% of that portfolio, down from $759 million,
or 1.80%, at March 31, 1996.
     Cards continued to build reserves for possible credit
losses, with a provision of $49 million above net credit losses
in the 1996 second quarter, consistent with $49 million in the
preceding quarter and $40 million in the 1995 second quarter.


Private Bank
Private banking net income of $72 million was up $27 million, or
60%, from the 1995 second quarter, principally reflecting
improved credit experience and broad-based revenue growth.
Pretax income was $95 million, up 79% from the same 1995 quarter.
     Revenue grew 9% from the year-ago quarter, while expense
increased 2%, resulting in a margin increase of 23%.  Net credit
recoveries of $10 million in the quarter compared with $16 millon
of credit costs in the same year-ago period.
     Client business volumes under management at the end of the
quarter totaled $92 billion, up 13% from a year earlier.  (As
previously indicated, a portion of Private Bank client assets are
managed by Citibank Global Asset Management.)

     Net income from global corporate banking activities of
$644 million in the second quarter was up 15% from the 1995
second quarter on revenue of $1.8 billion.  Return on average
assets was 1.86%, an improvement from 1.51% in the same 1995
quarter.
     Net income from Emerging Markets corporate banking was $433
million, 67% of total corporate banking earnings, and Global
Relationship Banking's net income was $211 million (without
inclusion of business done in emerging markets for customer
relationships managed jointly).
     Helped by trends toward outsourcing by customers, Global
Transaction Services contracts were awarded during the quarter by
200 corporate, financial and governmental customers.
     Citibank won 39 awards in "Euromoney" magazine's annual
rankings, including best bank worldwide and best bank in emerging
markets, both for the second straight year.  For the 18th
straight year, Citibank was named best bank for foreign exchange
in the "Euromoney" customer survey, and the bank was first in
"Risk" magazine's derivatives ranking, based on a customer
survey.


Emerging Markets
Net income from banking for corporate customers in the emerging
markets totaled $433 million in the quarter, up $91 million, or
27%, from the same 1995 quarter, as revenue grew by 12%.  The
results represented a return on assets of 3.00%, up from 2.80% in
the 1995 second quarter.
     Pretax income totaled $459 million, up 16% from the 1995
second quarter.  The effective income tax rate in the quarter was
6%, compared with 14% in the 1995 second quarter.
     Revenue of $853 million increased $93 million, or 12%, from
the 1995 second quarter.  The results were characterized by
strong base business growth in loan products and transaction
services, a decline in trading-related revenue of $18 million and
an increase in asset and securities gains of $64 million.  About
19% of the revenue in the Emerging Markets business was
attributable to business from multinational companies managed
with Global Relationship Banking, with that revenue having grown
7% from the second quarter of 1995.
     Expense increased 14% from the 1995 second quarter,
primarily reflecting higher business volumes and investment
spending to build the franchise.  Since the second quarter of
1995, banking operations were initiated in Slovakia, Romania,
Lebanon, and Israel.  In addition, operations were expanded by
opening additional offices or converting representative offices
to branches or subsidiaries in China, Russia, Peru, South Africa,
and Tanzania.  Preparations were completed for the opening in
early July of the Citi Islamic Investment Bank, a wholly owned
subsidiary in Bahrain.
     Credit costs remained low during the quarter, resulting in a
net credit of $8 million, compared with a net charge of $9
million in the 1995 second quarter.  Credit costs in the 1996
quarter reflect a $21 million recovery related to the
restructuring agreement concluded with Slovenia.
     Debt restructuring activities during the second quarter
included the signing of an agreement with Panama, negotiation of
an agreement with Croatia and distribution of a term sheet to
Peru's international commercial creditors.


Global Relationship Banking
Net income from the GRB business in North America, Europe and
Japan totaled $211 million, down slightly from the 1995 second
quarter.  Pretax income was $278 million, down 9% from the 1995
second quarter.
     Average assets continued to decline, down by $19 billion
from the second quarter of 1995, as the GRB continued to focus on
asset utilization and improvement of returns.  Return on average
assets of 1.05% improved from 0.87% in the 1995 second quarter.


     Revenue of $944 million declined $71 million from the 1995
second quarter.  The results reflected stable business in loan
products and growth in transaction services, offset by declines
in both trading-related revenue and venture capital revenue of
$102 million and $81 million, respectively.  The results also
included a $110 million gain from the sale of an automated
trading business, which was part of the company's former
information initiatives.  Trading-related results amounted to
$177 million and included a one-time charge of $60 million
related to certain mortgage-backed securities activities.
Expense of $685 million increased 2% compared with the 1995
quarter due primarily to higher volumes in transaction services
and investment in technological infrastructure.
     Credit costs in the quarter were a credit of $19 million,
compared with a charge of $14 million in the 1995 second quarter.
The second quarter of 1995 also included a provision in excess of
net write-offs of $25 million.


Other items


     Revenues and expenses were both deflated by approximately 2%
compared to the year earlier quarter, due to a stronger U.S.
dollar.
     Citicorp's effective tax rate was 38% in the quarter,
compared with 39% in the 1995 second quarter.  The 1995 full-year
effective tax rate was 38%.  Income taxes are attributed to core
businesses on the basis of local tax rates, which amounted to an
effective rate of 21% in the quarter and 27% in the 1995 second
quarter (29% for the full 1995 year), reflecting changes in the
nature and geographic mix of earnings.  The difference between
the local tax rate and Citicorp's overall effective rate in each
period is included in corporate items.
     Corporate items included an investment writedown of $50
million in Latin America; the year-ago quarter included a similar
charge of $70 million.
     Average common shares outstanding for the purpose of
computing fully diluted earnings per share in the 1996 second
quarter were 492.1 million versus 500.8 million in the preceding
1996 quarter, principally reflecting the net effect of the share
repurchase program and employee stock plans.
     With the repurchase of 9.6 million shares of common stock in
the quarter at a total cost of $777 million, the number of shares
acquired since June 20, 1995, when the Board of Directors
authorized the stock repurchase program, totaled 42.2 million at
a cost of $3.0 billion.  As expanded in January 1996, the program
is authorized to make total purchases for up to $4.5 billion
through January 1998.

margin, business results and credit indicators follow, along with

results will be available next month in Citicorp's Form 10-Q.

(A) During 1996 the remaining Convertible Preferred Stock,
    Series 12 and 13 totaling $993 million, were converted
    to common stockholders' equity.  The $590 million Series
    12 conversion resulted in increases to common stock and
    surplus, while the $403 million Series 13 conversion
    resulted in $1.1 billion issuance from treasury stock
    and a reduction in retained earnings of $0.7 billion.
    Treasury stock at June 30, 1996 also reflects the
    repurchase of 19.2 million common shares at a cost
    of $1.5 billion during the six months of 1996.

   issued upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, Series
   12 and 13, commencing with the conversion dates. For the

   common stock, and the number of shares issuable on conversion
   were added to weighted-average shares outstanding.  Added to
   shares outstanding for the 1996 and 1995 second quarter and
   six month periods are other common equivalent shares and book
   value shares issuable under certain benefit plans.

   on Conversion Preferred Stock, Series 15 were added back to

   issuable on conversion were added to weighted-average shares
   outstanding. Additionally, for the 1995 second quarter and
   the six month  periods of 1996 and 1995, dividends on
   Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 12 and 13 are added back
   to income applicable to common stock, and the shares issuable
   on conversion are added to shares outstanding.  From
   conversion dates forward, these shares are included in
   weighted-average common shares outstanding.  The number of
   common equivalent and book value shares are calculated on a
   fully diluted basis as well.
