Item 5.  Other Events


     On December 13, 2000, MBNA America Bank, N.A. ("MBNA America"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of MBNA Corporation, completed the securitization of
$500.0 million of seven-year credit card asset backed securities.  MBNA
America transferred credit card receivables to MBNA Master Credit Card Trust
II which issued Series 2000-L.  The transaction had two classes of publicly
traded securities (Class A and Class B), and a separate, privately placed,
collateral interest.

     Series 2000-L consists of $425.0 million Class A (senior) fixed rate
asset backed certificates and $37.5 million Class B (subordinate) floating
rate asset backed certificates.  The privately placed collateral interest
was issued in the amount of $37.5 million and is subordinate to the Class A
and Class B asset backed certificates.  The seven-year 6.50% Class A
certificates were priced at 99.82728% to yield 6.62%.  The seven-year Class
B floating rate asset backed certificates accrue interest at 50 basis points
over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, and were priced at par.
MBNA America retained ownership of the credit card accounts which generated
the receivables and will act as servicing agent for Series 2000-L.
