FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                    TrustCo Announces Fourth Quarter Results
               Highlighted by Outstanding Loan and Deposit Growth


Glenville, New York - January 16, 2007 TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, Nasdaq:
TRST) today announced results for the fourth quarter of 2006 and for the full
year. These results were highlighted by loans, which as of December 31, 2006
grew $291.8 million or 20% compared to December 31, 2005. Deposits were also up
for 2006 an impressive $236.9 million or 9% compared to year-end 2005. Robert
J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "It is
gratifying to see such outstanding increases in both loans and deposits. This
growth can be attributed to the new and existing markets we are now serving."

Net income for the full year 2006 was $45.3 million compared to $59.0 million
for 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.603 for 2006 compared to $0.782 in
diluted earnings per share for 2005. Return on average assets and return on
average equity were 1.52% and 18.71% respectively for 2006 compared to 2.07%
and 26.07% for 2005. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $9.4 million
compared to $13.4 million for 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.125 for
the fourth quarter compared to $0.178 for the fourth quarter of 2005.

Robert J. McCormick said, "The entire industry continues to suffer from the
yield curve. As expected, 2006 was a challenging year for many banks, including
ours. Margin compression along with one-time gains taken in 2005 placed
downward pressure on earnings at our Company. While our 2006 results were down,
they are still well ahead of industry averages."

During the fourth quarter, Trustco Bank opened two offices: (1) Chatham in
Columbia County, New York and (2) North Clermont in Lake County, Florida. This
brings our total number of offices to 91 with seventeen in Florida.

                                    - More -



Robert J. McCormick said, "Looking forward to 2007 and beyond, TrustCo is well
positioned for continued growth. Since we announced our growth initiative, we
have added over 30 branch offices with an additional 25 branches pending. These
new branch offices, mainly in downstate New York and Florida, should act as a
catalyst for growth for years to come."

Trustco Bank, operates 91 offices in New York, New Jersey, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Florida. In addition, the Bank operates a full service Trust
