What Happened?
San Antonio, TX-based United Services Automobile Association Retired Greg Schwartz as Chief Information Officer
About the Company
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 millions of members and become one of the only fully integrated financial services organizations 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.
