USAA is an Unincorporated Reciprocal Interinsurance Exchange and Holding Company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and offers: insurance, including life insurance; banking services through the USAA Federal Savings Bank; financial planning; discount brokerage; and investment services including a line of highly regarded mutual funds. USAA's gold fund is internationally renown; a true world-class achiever. Other valuable opportunities for subscribers include a real estate investment company, a mail-order retail catalog operation, and travel services. As an insurer, USAA operates as an unincorporated reciprocal inter-insurance exchange (URIE) under Chapter 942 of the Texas Insurance Code [1]. The privilege to subscribe is extended primarily to current and former U.S. military personnel and their families. As of 2004, USAA had over $81 billion in assets under management, 2.2 million subscribers, and about 5 million customers.
The United Services Automobile Association was founded in 1922 by a group of military officers, and applied for a Certificate of Authority from the Texas Department of Insurance in 1924. USAA's formation resolved the frustrations military personnel encountered in obtaining auto insurance because of their constant re-assignments and suspicions about their focus on safe driving.
The mission of USAA is to address the special financial circumstances of its members, associates and their families: which it accomplishes through the provision of a full range of extremely competitive financial products and services. USAA's Federal Savings Bank is the crown jewel of the enterprise: and highly regarded throughout the entire banking industry.
The USAA headquarters in San Antonio is the largest privately-owned office building (in terms of square footage) in the world; a real estate dinosaur, about 50% occupied, and slated for demolition when the move the Phoenix is finished.
