The American Legion, USAA Announce Co-Branded Credit Card

USAA and The American Legion (TAL) are rolling out a credit card that will help fund Legion programs under the recent agreement that positions USAA as the preferred provider of financial services to Legionnaires, including insurance, banking, investments and financial guidance.

The new co-branded credit card allows TAL's more than 2.4 million Legionnaires and nearly 1.4 million members of the Sons of The American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary access to The American Legion USAA RewardsTM World MasterCard®, which will help support the organization's activities and programs.

According to Nathan McKinley, vice president for military affinity at USAA, the co-branded credit card is part of USAA's ongoing effort to help facilitate the financial security of Legionnaires and their families.

"USAA is proud to work with The American Legion to meet the financial needs of their members," said McKinley. "This credit card is another tool in the toolbox to assist TAL in developing programs and delivering services to support their members."

Since two of the nation's largest military-focused organizations have joined forces in late November, thousands of Legionnaires have contacted USAA to become members.
