USAA Bank Launches Alliance with 1st Cavalry Division Association

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

USAA Bank and the 1st Cavalry Division Association have joined forces to introduce a customized credit card for approximately 28,000 eligible 1st Cavalry Division Association members.

USAA Bank and 1st Cavalry Division Association now offer the 1st Cavalry Division Association USAA Rewards™ World MasterCard® credit card to help support their community outreach programs and activities. USAA Bank makes a contribution to the association with every new account opened and each time card holders make an eligible purchase.

1st Cavalry Division Association joined forces with USAA because of its strong commitment to serving the financial needs of military members and veterans who have honorably served – and their families.

“I’ve been a USAA member for almost 50 years, and I have been pleased with their service,” said Lyman Duryea, president of the 1st Cavalry Division Association. “Becoming a USAA member was an excellent decision.”

“We’re thrilled to be working with the 1st Cavalry Division Association to launch their co-branded credit card program,” said Jason Kamiya, retired Army Major General and USAA senior vice president. “We have a lot of respect for America’s First Team and for the extraordinary valor, honor and sacrifice that have been their hallmark throughout history.”
In 2009, USAA opened its membership to all veterans who have honorably served and their eligible family members. To learn more about USAA and the 1st Cavalry Division Association, call 1-877-917-1232 or visit usaa.com/1cdacc.

About the 1st Cavalry Division Association

It is country-wide and was founded in 1944 by a group of First Team soldiers in the Admiralty Islands who wanted to preserve old friendships and conduct periodic reunions. Anyone who has been assigned or attached to the 1st Cavalry Division anytime, anywhere, is eligible for life membership in the association. Friends of the Cav who have not served with the division can become associate members. For more information, visit 1cda.org.
