The United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is an American financial services company providing insurance and banking products exclusively to members of the military, veterans and their families.[4] It was founded in 1922 in San Antonio, Texas, by a group of 25 U.S. Army officers as a mechanism for mutual self-insurance, when they were unable to secure auto insurance because of the perception that they, as military officers, were a high-risk group.[5][6]
USAA is headquartered in northwest San Antonio, occupying a 286-acre (116 ha) former horse farm.[7][8] USAA Federal Savings Bank, which provides banking services, is headquartered on a 575-acre (233 ha) campus in Phoenix, Arizona as of April 2024.[9]
USAA has since expanded to offer banking and insurance services to past and present members of the Armed Forces, officers and enlisted, and their families. The company ranked No. 96 in the 2020 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue[10] and appeared on Fortune's 2021 Blue Ribbon list of companies, placing No. 355 on the Fortune Global 500, No. 94 on the Fortune 500, No. 55 on the 100 Best Companies to Work For and World’s Most Admired Companies.[11] At the end of 2020, it had more than 13 million members.[12]
