      Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures of Independent Accountants

National City Corporation
Cleveland, Ohio

The Bank of New York
New York, New York

We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the
management of National City Corporation (National City) and The Bank of New
York, solely to assist you in evaluating the servicing of certain credit card
receivables during the period January 1, 1998, through December 31, 1998, for
compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, as amended (the "Agreement") dated June 1, 1995, as supplemented by
the Series 1995-1 Supplement (the "Supplement"), for the First of America Credit
Card Master Trust (the "Trust") among National City Bank, as Seller and
Servicer, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The credit card receivables are
identified in Schedule 1 of the Agreement.

We performed the following agreed-upon procedures (unless otherwise indicated, 
the capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in the Agreement):

1.   We obtained the monthly certificateholder's statement for the collection 
     period January 1, 1998, to December 31, 1998, from the management of
     National City from the monthly certificateholder's statement, we agreed
     amounts per the statement to system-generated reports and/or documents
     received from The Bank of New York or The Union Bank of Switzerland that
     were the source of such amounts. For the percentages presented in the
     monthly certificateholder's statement, we recalculated the percentage based
     upon the formula provided in the Agreement and the amounts obtained from
     the source document.

     In three instances, the three month average of the base rate or portfolio
     yield were incorrectly reported. No other exceptions were noted.

2.   We inquired of National City management as to whether the collection and 
     charge off of payments are in accordance with National City's customary and
     usual servicing procedures.

     National City management indicated in the affirmative.

3.   For expenses incurred in connection with the Trust and the related 
     servicing activities, we inquired of National City management that
     National City paid all expenses in 1998 out of their own funds, 
     without reimbursement from the Trust.

     National City management indicated that National City paid such expenses 
     without reimbursement from the Trust.

4.   We obtained the monthly certificateholder's statements for the year from 
     National City management. We compared the monthly servicing fee per the 
     statements to source documentation and determined the monthly servicing 
     fee was based on the product of (a) the weighted average servicing fee 
     rates and (b) the amount of principal receivable on the last day of the 
     prior Monthly Period.

     No exceptions were noted.

5.   We inquired of National City management that not later than the third 
     business day preceding each distribution date during 1998, National City 
     delivered to the Trustee, Paying Agent, each Rating Agency and each Series 
     Enhancer, a certificate in substantially the form set forth in the 
     Supplement.

     National City indicated that such certificates were delivered timely.

6.   For adjustments downward of any Principal Receivable in 1998, we inquired 
     of National City management to determine that the amount of Principal 
     Receivables are reduced by the amount of the required adjustment in 
     calculating the Seller Amount, the Seller Interest, the Floating 
     Allocation Percentage and the Principal Allocation Percentage. 
     Additionally, we inquired of National City management to determine 
     adjustments are made on or prior to the end of the Monthly Period in which 
     such adjustment obligation arises.

     National City management indicated in the affirmative.

7.   We obtained the deposit account statement for the Collection Account for 
     each month during 1998 to determine the monthly deposit was made in 
     immediately available funds no later than 12:00 noon, New York City, New 
     York time, on the related Transfer Date for each month. Additionally, to 
     determine the aggregate amount of required Collections was deposited, we 
     agreed the amount deposited per the deposit account statement to 
     system-generated reports identifying the required amount for the monthly 
     deposits for each month during 1998. We also identified that each account 
     bears a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein 
     are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

     No exceptions were noted.

8.   We recalculated the monthly allocation of the Collections of Finance 
     Charge Receivables, Defaulted Amount and Collections of Principal 
     Receivable for each month during 1998, to determine amounts were 
     calculated in accordance with Section 4.03(b) of the Agreement. We 
     recalculated such allocations based upon system-generated reports which 
     represent the source of such amounts.

     No exceptions were noted.

9.   We inquired of National City management of the processes of allocating 
     shared principal collections, pro rata, to each investor, in proportion to 
     the principal shortfall and allocating the Excess Finance Charge 
     Collections, pro rata, in proportion to the Finance Charge Shortfalls, if 
     any, to determine compliance with Sections 4.04 and 4.05, respectively, of 
     the Agreement.

     National City management indicated this process is not applicable to 
     National City as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998.

10.  We inquired of National City management to determine the extent that the 
     Servicer established an Eligible Deposit Account as a prefunding account 
     to determine compliance with Section 4.06 of the Agreement.

     National City management indicated the Servicer has not established an 
     Eligible Deposit Account as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998.

11.  We recalculated the Servicer's calculation of interchange and recoveries 
     for one month during the period, April 1998, by using source documentation 
     to determine amounts were calculated in accordance with the Section 4.07 
     of the Agreement.

     No exceptions were noted.

12.  We inquired of National City management that the methodology utilized to 
     identify securitized receivables on their system provided, in the computer 
     files, a clear and unambiguous indication that the securitized receivable 
     accounts have been conveyed for the benefit of investors.

     National City indicated in the affirmative.

13.  We inquired of National City management to determine if there have been 
     any amendments made to the Agreement during the year and determined the 
     impact on the performance of these agreed-upon procedures, if applicable.

     National City management indicated there were no amendments made to the 
     Agreement during the year ended December 31, 1998, and therefore, no 
     impact on the performance of the agreed-upon procedures as of and for the 
     period then ended.

Our engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures was performed in accordance with 
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public 
Accountants. The sufficiency of the procedures is solely the responsibility of 
the specified users of the report. Consequently, we make no representation 
regarding the sufficiency of the procedures either for the purpose for which 
this report is being prepared or for any other purpose.

We were not engaged to, and did not perform an examination, the objective of 
which would be the expression of an opinion on the servicing of certain credit 
card receivables. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we 
performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention 
that would have been reported to you.

Our report is intended solely for the use of National City and The Bank of New 
York and should not be used by those who have not agreed to the procedures and 
taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes.
