| NFCU can't be beat for banking while a mid -- and beyond. It's super convenient and, b/c it's a credit union, has no pesky fees like most banks. You can get a credit or debit card, loans and most things a bank can offer that you'd want as a mid or jr. officer.
Most military folks pick up USAA primarily for car insurance (at least initially), which is always highly rated. Of course, it also has banking services with few if any fees, and many then take advantage of those as well.
I think many military and former military folks use NFCU and USAA in some sort of combination, depending on their needs. Thus, I'd suggest starting out with NFCU for your basic banking needs b/c it is right there and very user-friendly. When you become a firstie and get that car -- and are starting to look at investments -- that's a great time to look into USAA. |
