FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

               TrustCo Announces Second Quarter Results

Glenville, New York - July 18, 2006 TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, Nasdaq:
TRST) today announced results for the second quarter of 2006 and for the first
six months of the year. Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $12.4
million, compared to $15.0 million for 2005. Diluted earnings per share were
$0.165 for the second quarter compared to $0.199 for the second quarter of
2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.69% and
21.44% for the second quarter of 2006 compared to 2.11% and 26.52% for the
second quarter of 2005. For 2006 the second quarter net income represents an
increase of $58 thousand over the net income for the first quarter. Though
down from a year ago, we are encouraged by this upward trend for net income in
the second quarter.

Net income for the six months ending June 30, 2006 was $24.8 million, or $0.330
in diluted earnings per share, compared to $29.9 million, or $0.396 in diluted
earnings per share, for the six month period ending June 30, 2005.

Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "As we
have previously discussed, the flat or inverted interest rate yield curve
continues. This has resulted in there being little or no margin between
short-term and long-term interest rates, which in turn places a downward
pressure on earnings. Our initiative to grow out of these downward pressures is
continuing to show momentum. As of June 30, 2006, total loans have increased
$275.9 million and total deposits have increased $143.8 million compared to
June 30, 2005. The increases in deposits and loans have come from all the
markets we serve, and we are pleased with these results."



                                       5
