USAA

USAA is a diversified financial services organisation serving the American military community and their families. Founded in 1922 in San Antonio, Texas, by 25 Army officers as a self-insurance initiative, it now serves more than 14 million members across the United States. Membership is limited to active-duty personnel, members of the National Guard and Reserve, honourably discharged veterans and their eligible family members.

Its business spans four principal lines: insurance, banking, investments and retirement solutions, each designed for the particular circumstances of military life. The company's stated commitments include competitive products, service quality and trusted financial advice, alongside its broader purpose of securing members' finances.

Beyond its product lines, USAA advocates on behalf of the military community and supports initiatives relating to career transitions, financial well-being and quality of life for those who serve. Its mutual origins - the result of officers banding together to insure one another - remain central to its self-described mission-driven approach.

The organisation operates principally within the United States, with its headquarters and founding site in San Antonio, Texas, and sits at the intersection of financial services, insurance, banking, investments and retirement provision.
