In 1922, when 25 Army officers met in San Antonio, Texas, and decided to insure each other's vehicles, they could not have imagined that their tiny organization would one day serve over 8 million members and become one of the only fully integrated financial services companies in America.

We believe they would be pleased to know that USAA has remained true to their founding values of service, loyalty, honesty and integrity.
