National City Bank is the Seller and Servicer under a Pooling and Servicing 
Agreement dated June 1, 1995, as amended (the "Agreement") among the Seller and
Servicer and The Bank of New York as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented 
by the Series 1995-1 Supplement, dated as of June 1, 1995, providing for the 
issuance of certificates in series (the "Certificates"). National City Bank is 
also successor-in-interest to National City Bank of Michigan/Illinois (formerly
known as First of America Bank, N.A.) the Co-Originator of the First of America
Credit Card Master Trust (the "Trust") created pursuant to the Agreement. Each 
Certificate represents an undivided interest in a pool of receivables held by 
the Trust. The Certificates issued, or to be issued, may be senior ("Class A 
Certificates"), subordinated ("Class B Certificates") and Seller 
Certificate(s). National City Bank, as successor-in-interest to the     
Co-Originator of the Trust, has prepared on behalf of the Registrant, this
Annual Report on Form 10-K in reliance upon various no action letters issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Items designated
herein as "Not  Applicable" have been omitted as a result of this reliance.
