  /AB, /XT   ABSTRACT:  In 1992, Fleet Financial Group established a Community 
     Banking Group to concentrate specifically on serving the 
     financial and noncredit needs of businesses with sales up 
     to $5 million and borrowing requirements up to $500,000. 
     In January 1994, Fleet's Community Banking Group introduced 
     Easy Business Banking, a program that simplified applications 
     and standardized documentation that allows small-business owners to 
     spend less time on the bank's paperwork.  Under the program, 
     qualifying small businesses may apply to borrow from $10,000 
     to $100,000 with a reply guaranteed within 3 business days. 
     Using automated monitoring and tracking systems can 
     significantly reduce the costs of small business loans. 
     The direct mail program, one part of a mass-marketing plan, 
     became the first vehicle for getting the word out about 
     Fleet's program. 
     TEXT: 
  /LP, /XT, /TX        Over the last several years, Fleet Financial Group has 
     actively encouraged economic development through support of 
     small business growth in the six states (Connecticut, Maine, 
     Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island) 
     where it operates. Whether considered from a local, 
     regional, or national perspective, small business is unarguably the 
     engine that drives the economy. 
                                   . 
                                   . 
                                   . 
     creative ways the good word about our innovative products and 
     services.  From direct mail to outreach initiatives, we are 
     successfully marketing ourselves to thousands of small 
     businesses across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, 
     New York, and Rhode Island. 
          Patricia Hanratty is senior vice president for community 
     banking, Fleet Financial Group.
