USAA was founded in 1922 by 25 members of the U.S. military as a way to insure their vehicles. Since that time, USAA has provided insurance and financial services for members of the military and their families. Services include banking, a range of insurance from automobile to homeowner, personal loans, mortgage loans and retirement planning. The company has grown from its start with 25 members to serving over 9 million members today.
