Credit unions are thing as well. USAA is one of the largest, and very pro-consumer.

USAA is an insurance association that owns a bank:

They do seem to have a focus on providing good service.

edit: (so the members of the bank are not cooperative owners of it like they would be at a CU, they are customers).

Thanks for correcting me!

The goal is to correct the conversation (versus messageboard oneupmanship or whatever). I wasn't previously aware of the details of the legal structure of USAA, but I didn't think it was a credit union and went and looked it up. I fear such comments are tiresome, but I guess it doesn't take very many readers seeing the right information for them to be worthwhile.
