Sells insurance and banking to military families

USAA sells insurance, banking and investment products to U.S. military members, veterans and their families, and membership is limited to that community and eligible relatives.

Members can also open checking and savings accounts, carry credit cards, take out auto loans and mortgages, and buy life insurance, annuities and retirement accounts. The company earns money from insurance premiums, loan interest, card fees and investment management. USAA was founded in 1922 and is based in San Antonio, Texas.
