Financial Services Corp after receiving federal approval of the
deal.

    The purchase of Orbanco, for about 47 mln dlrs in cash and
common stock, will be effective in 30 days, a Security Pacific

    Terms call for each share of Orbanco common stock to be
exchanged for about 14 dlrs of Security Pacific common stock,
plus 1.50 dlrs cash.
    Each share of Orbanco's 100-dlr par value preferred stock
will be exchanged for 100 dlrs cash, plus accrued dividends.
    Orbanco, with one billion dlrs in assests, is the holding
company for the Oregon Bank, Orbanco Real Estate Service Co,
American Data Service Inc and Orbanco Securities Corp.
    Security Pacific now has four major regional bank purchases
outside California completed or pending.

four billion dlrs, in the fourth quarter of 1986.
    Pending approval currently is the purchase of Rainier
Bancorporation &lt;RBAN>, with assets of 9.2 billion dlrs. In
