USAA Federal Savings Bank is offering a $100 sign up bonus for new checking accounts. The kicker is that you must be eligible for their property and casualty insurance. United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is an insurance company that offers financial services including banking, investing, credit cards, and other financial products.
About USAA
There are two things that set USAA apart from other financial institutions. The first is that USAA was founded for military officers and continues to have fairly strict eligibility requirements – basically you must be in the military or be the adult child of a current USAA member. The second thing that sets USAA apart from other financial institutions is their consistently high ratings for financial products and customer service. They are often rated number one for best credit cards, customer service, brokerages and more. You can read a USAA Federal Savings Bank review for more information.
