Why? Employees work on company computers. They use encrypted software just like when they are in office. They have access to the same information whether in office or at home. Once logged on to the company server their work is monitored just like it is in office.If they are going to steal information there’s no reason to assume it’s easier to steal working from home than it is working in office. There’s been no evidence to suggest that an employee is the culprit. It’s more logical to assume that the person’s information was compromised by their own online behavior or credit card use. That said, IME most banks drag their feet and stall to avoid repaying their member’s money when stolen.

I also feel like USAA is not taking care of its members the way it used to by wiggling out of taking care of members by the wording in their policy. I’m not sure if it’s the CEO or whoever is in charge, but why is so much negative stuff popping up? If I continue to hear more negative stuff about USAA I’m considering pulling all of my stuff out and going to local credit unions and other insurance agencies for business.

Needless to say that claim took a month to resolve. Another employee didn’t feel like working and told me she’d mail me the forms to fill out. When I said I’ve never had that done before, she was then able to help and complete the transaction in ten minutes on the phone.

@kennixox2625 ай бұрын
It was always for commissioned officers, cadets, and their families until the late 1990's or so. When they started to accept enlisted personnel that is when the quality went dow; due to increased customer volume and not a dig at enlisted personnel. At some point around 2010 or so, anyone with an honorable discharge regardless of rank can apply for USAA insurance. USAA was originally started by Army officers, for officers as they were considered at the time a better risk. I don't think any other major bank or insurance company is any better or worse. I think for retail banking, a good credit union is a great alternative.

Folks never leave your cash a large amount in a checking account put it in a savings account that doesn’t have overdraft protection to the checking account that way if they do drain your checking your savings is spared have notifications lock all cards you are not using at the moment as well through your phone app hope this helps and never store all your cash in one spot!

I dissolved my relationship with USAA in 2020 when they refused to insure my new home after saying they would do it, leaving me to scramble. I had been a member for over 30 years. They couldn't have cared less. GOOD RIDDANCE.

THEY want to make it as hard as possible so that way you will quit trying. That is one of their tricks.

USAA insurance sucks too. I filed a claim to fix my roof and what they paid didn't even approach the deductible. Bunch of cheapskates.

I do some of my banking with USAA. Recently I had problem after problem with USAA representatives. I was trying to put my daughters on as POD to a account I have with USAA. Time and time again I was sent the wrong form to do this. Even after I told the rep. it was the wrong form they insisted it was the correct one. Some of their phone reps. do not know how to do the job they are trying do. Training seems to be an issue. I have not seen fraud as of yet but the knowledge of the reps. is lacking. If you are not sure of something just ask your supervisor please.

Though one may not be targeted, one should still be alert to what's happening with their account. Most criminals will just take a small amount, just to see if people are paying attention to their accounts. If they took something small from the account and the person didn't do anything, they will be back to take a greater amount. I had someone charge to my account, 10.00 dollars for a program I used about 10 years ago.

Congratulations, you've outdone yourself. This video is one of the most impressive one-punch recovery moves I've seen in a while: the coding, the clickbait, the references from other channels/people... *Grind Techiei* just knows an opportunity to recover lost money when he sees one.

Yes. I use two banks and a credit union. After seeing how people have had their accounts frozen for no reason in the last few years that's when I opened another account with another bank. I went with a good local bank.

USAA is like the United States, once a signifcantly great institution that is now in a spiraling decline. They started to close accounts like our 529, retirement and move them to partner companies and then last year jacked our insurance over 80% in one year. I asked them what the heck is this about, they states that Jacksonville FL is experiencing excessive claims and thus the rate change. We dropped them since the car insurance was literally more than our one car payment...

Listen to this one up here in Canada.I'm with one of the 5 big banks and my accounts there are electronic which means a scammer can tap in with a phone sim swap it happens daily. So Being retired and looking at crashing $ 300,000 I went to another old account that my mother inlaw and wife had together until my mother inlaws 2022 death.I talk to the banker about a safe place to stash money that isn't electronic.He then tries to get me to make that 50 year old account modern and elctronic ??? I said are you kidding and then when 300,000. is missing will you pay me back.NO !! he shook his head. This is not a cgood time in history to be electronic as the banks don't care about your security !!

Just hearing about all this (after seeing this video).. WHaT THEeee?!?.. When I 1st opened my accnt w/them 24yrs ago, I was having problems w/deposits.. So I decided to only keep no more than $20s in the accnt. I’ve been using them for car insurance BUT they recently (pretty much overnight) increased the monthly rate literally TRIPLING the amount.. and that’s with no accidents, no tickets, no claims whatsoever-so-ever. I’m a 100% permanent disabled veteran. I live on a fixed budget and every penny is VERY serious to me.. I’m DONE with this company after seeing this video.. REALLY FReaKeD OUT doing ANY business with them… DaaaYuuuMm
