Is USAA Banking Required For Military Members?

I feel like it's not but I swear I've heard it is before? Anyways I'm shipping to basic on April 10th and just wondering if it's required? Also what benefits do you get with USAA that other banks don't offer? Currently I'm with Wells Fargo and I feel like I should move to USAA due to it being just for military members retired and active and that they'd be a lot easier to bank with since all they do is deal with military members.

No, not required, for banking I personally prefer a credit union, but for car insurance I don't think anyone can beat USAA. I went with different home owners insurance, but USAA for renters before buying.

It is a really good company with great services, if best for you and your needs it isn't for me to say but I can not imagine anyone saying you don't have a choice.

Not a fan at all for Wells Fargo.
