enables us to provide a broad range of financial products and services to help you navigate

Brandon Morrison
USAA MEMBER SINCE 2005
Brandon Morrison knows a good deal when he
sees one.
After all, he buys equipment and materials every
day in his active-duty role. And he does a lot of
research to find the best bargains. When he and his
wife, Martha, decided to buy a new truck, he knew
what he wanted: a great price and no haggling.
So Brandon and Martha went online to
USAA Auto Circle,™ where members can find,
finance and insure new or used vehicles. They
found pickups that cost $2,000 to $6,000 less
than MSRP at nearby USAA-certified dealers.
After a few months of shopping with the Lowest
Price Guarantee in their hands, the Morrisons —
including daughter, Jade — became the proud
owners of their dream truck. And they saved
thousands of dollars on the deal to boot.

Pat & Manuel Escobar
USAA MEMBERS SINCE 1993
Pat and Manuel Escobar realized that they were
cutting it close.
The couple had made some mistakes handling
their investments over the years, and they
came to USAA to help them get back on track.
With retirement nearing for both of them,
the second-generation USAA members feared
they had waited too late to get assistance.
USAA helped them consolidate their scattered
investments and plan for their retirement income
needs. And, despite the turbulent economy,
USAA aided the couple in reaching their goal
of enjoying their golden years in sunny Arizona,
right back where they started out as college
sweethearts.

USAA 2010 REPORT TO MEMBERS
The Escobars’ experience may not be representative of other clients and is no guarantee of future performance or success.
The fixed annuity guarantee against principal loss depends on the claims paying ability of the insurance company. An annuity is
a contract sold by an insurance company to provide income, usually after retirement, that cannot be outlived.

Rebecca Vogler
USAA MEMBER SINCE 2008
Rebecca Vogler doesn’t know the meaning
of “slow down.”
As the mother of an 8-year-old, she’s constantly
on the go taking care of her son, tutoring kids
at a nearby military installation and pursuing
a career in clinical psychology. Not surprisingly,
Rebecca takes care of as many of life’s details as
she can via her mobile phone.
And, after switching to USAA Bank, that
includes managing her money. Thanks to the
USAA Mobile App for Android, she monitors
her accounts daily and uses the Deposit@Mobile
feature to take pictures of checks and deposit
them in her account wirelessly.
A USAA member thanks to her father, who
served as a Marine, Rebecca wishes she had
switched sooner. But she’s happy that USAA
helps make her life a little less hectic now.

USAA 2010 REPORT TO MEMBERS
Je≠rey Fason, USAF (Ret.)
USAA MEMBER SINCE 1987
Jeff Fason is a father, a husband and a protector.
The retired Air Force lieutenant colonel knows
that life doesn’t always follow the best-laid plans.
He has seen how the deaths of those serving our
country can leave their families unprepared.
And he’s committed to making sure that his wife,
Ingrid, and children are well-cared for, no
matter what.
That’s why Jeff has stayed with USAA for his life,
auto and home insurance, even though competitors have tried to lure him away. He knows how
important it is to work with a provider that
understands the military and their families, as
well as one that’s solid and financially strong.
Last summer, Jeff and Ingrid were blessed with
something new to protect: a baby daughter, Jenesis.
She’s truly a new beginning for the Fasons; her
sister Keoni and brother Jalen are both more than
a decade older. Jeff is at ease knowing that USAA
will be there for his entire family.

John D. Monahan, USA (Ret.)
USAA MEMBER SINCE 1977
Jack Monahan didn’t need a lot of convincing.
Among the first to hear The American Legion was
considering an alliance with USAA, he knew it
was a perfect match. For more than three decades,
Jack has turned to USAA to insure his home
and at least a dozen cars over the years. He has
USAA life insurance, a USAA credit card, and
he’s even used USAA to buy jewelry for his wife
and daughters.
USAA IS OUR
Serving the Needs of Veterans Who Have Honorably Served
His biggest hope is that the relationship will bring
more USAA members to The American Legion,
too. Jack believes both organizations do good work,
and they’ve inspired him to do the same in his
professional role as Administrator of the State of
Connecticut Soldiers’, Sailors’ and Marines’ Fund.
Daniel S. Wheeler, USN
NATIONAL ADJUTANT, THE AMERICAN LEGION
USAA MEMBER SINCE 2010
Dan Wheeler seriously believes in doing his
homework.
Preferred Source for Financial Products and Services
When The American Legion first looked at
exploring an affinity relationship with USAA,
he went undercover to look at what membership
could offer him. The former Navy sonarman
called USAA to get a quote on auto insurance
and made no mention of who he was or where
he was from.
After learning he could save hundreds of dollars
a year on his family’s policies, Dan switched to
USAA from an insurance company he’d been
with for 31 years. He has since added a USAA
credit card and has been impressed with the
service. Dan believes that USAA treats members
more like brothers-in-arms than just customers.

USAA 2010 REPORT TO MEMBERS
USAA IS YOUR ALLY IN
SUPPORTING THE MILITARY
In 2010, USAA deepened its ties with the military
community by forging affinity relationships with a
diverse range of military associations and organizations.
As the financial services provider of choice for many
of these groups, USAA can now deliver best-in-class
products and services to their members. USAA also
supports the organizations and their efforts to serve
veterans who have honorably served, active-duty
military and their families.
So far, USAA has formed alliances with these
military-related groups:
Air Force Association • Air Force Sergeants Association • Association
of Graduates of the United States Air Force Academy • Association
of the United States Navy • The Enlisted Association of the National
Guard of the United States • Marine Corps Association • Military
Officers Association of America • Naval Aviation Museum Foundation •
Non Commissioned Officers Association • Naval Enlisted Reserve
Association • Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets Association • The American
Legion • U.S. Naval Institute • Wounded Warrior Project
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
USAA demonstrated in 2010 that putting members first
can lead to outstanding financial performance — despite
a shaky economy that is slowly emerging from the worst
recession in recent decades.
While other companies struggled against
economic headwinds, USAA maintained
its reputation for the best customer
service, added members, strengthened
its financial foundation and offered new
products and services to help members
work toward their financial security.
How did USAA accomplish this? For
starters, President and CEO Joe Robles
and his management team have pursued
a clear mission to make USAA the financial services provider of choice for the
military community and their families.
To that end, in 2009, USAA extended
membership to all those who have
honorably served in the U.S. military.
Meanwhile, we’ve continued deepening
our relationships with existing members
by rolling out innovative new products
and service channels, and investing in
people and technology to provide even
better member service.

2008
You have responded by trusting
USAA with your hard-earned money,
bringing nearly $7.1 billion in net new
assets to USAA in 2010. We now have
more than $147 billion in owned and
managed assets.
Thank you for the nearly
800,000
PHONE CALLS, E-MAILS AND LETTERS
TO SENATORS — HELPING PRESERVE THE WAY
USAA DOES BUSINESS.
Our financial strength has contributed
to our position as a corporate leader.
USAA now ranks 132nd on the FORTUNE
500® annual ranking of America’s largest
corporations, and USAA is the only
property and casualty insurance group
left standing that retains the highest ratings for financial strength from A.M.
Best, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s.
And this was never more evident than
in 2010, when a late change to federal
financial-reform legislation threatened
to change the way USAA does business.
Members mobilized by sending nearly
800,000 phone calls, e-mails and letters
to their senators. We can’t thank you
enough for an amazing response that
favorably changed the outcome of potentially restrictive legislation for USAA.
We’ll continue to be vigilant for other
regulatory threats that might impact
our members.
This report — like USAA itself —
is less about USAA than it is about the
members we serve. We will endeavor
to continue to deliver the service that
you, our members — including the fine
men and women who put their lives
on the line for our country — deserve.
John H. Moellering
Lt. General, USA (Ret.)
Chairman of the Board
USAA’s strength is manifest not only in
our financial capacity but also in the way
our members look out for one another.

USAA’S MISSION
The mission of the association is to facilitate the
financial security of its members, associates and
their families through provision of a full range of
highly competitive financial products and services;
in so doing, USAA seeks to be the provider of choice
for the military community.
LETTER FROM THE CEO
DEAR FELLOW
USAA MEMBERS,
Every year, we report to members about how USAA
performed during the past year. You report back to me,
too. Every day, I get e-mails, letters and phone calls from
members, telling me about their experiences with USAA.
Just a few months ago, an officer on
active duty in Iraq left an emotional
voice mail thanking one of our member
service representatives. Another lender
was about to foreclose on the officer’s
home in the states, and we were able
to save her home from foreclosure.
When we say that USAA serves you
through every stage of life, we’re talking
about people like that service member
and moments like these: A sudden
deployment. Managing debt. The birth
of a baby. Buying a home. Planning for
retirement. The life of military-service
members and their families is one we
understand, because many of us have
been in those shoes and boots. USAA
was created nearly 89 years ago for and
by members of the military. Today, about
one in five USAA employees is actively
serving, has served or is a military spouse.
Many more are the sons and daughters,
brothers and sisters, and mothers and
fathers of those who have served.
8
USAA 2010 REPORT TO MEMBERS
In 2010, USAA was able to serve more
members and meet more needs than
ever before. Our members benefited in
several tangible ways.
USAA invested in new technology capabilities and introduced new services to
simplify your life. A great example in
the past year was the introduction of the
Auto Circle™ and Home Circle™ solutions,
which have saved thousands of members
time, money and hassle. From one simpleto-navigate website — or using a smart
phone — members can now find, finance
and insure a car or home. Members also
have more and enhanced choices in how
to do business with USAA — whether by
phone, online, mobile (try our new app
for the iPad®) or at one of our new faceto-face financial centers opened in select
locations in 2010.

We were also able to return more money
back to you in 2010. Once we met our
current and projected financial needs,
USAA gave back $1.3 billion to our
members and customers in dividends,
distributions, and bank rebates and
rewards — 12 percent more than the
year before. Additionally, we helped
members and customers save more than
$165 million last year through refinanced
mortgages and car-buying services. And
we carefully managed reserves to be
there for our insured members in their
times of loss. Last year, USAA paid out
$7.4 billion in auto and home claims,
despite a year with no major hurricanes
along U.S. coasts.
More members of the military community are now eligible to join USAA.
After expanding membership in 2009
to all who have honorably served in the
U.S. military, USAA now has more than
8 million members. We also forged new
relationships with a number of militaryrelated organizations in 2010, including
See legal information on Page 21.
The American Legion and the Military
Officers Association of America. These
relationships are a logical extension of
our mission to facilitate the financial
security of our military members and
their families.
Our members continued to enjoy awardwinning service levels and reported
97 percent customer satisfaction. In fact,
USAA again garnered numerous top
scores for customer service from leading
research firms such as J.D. Power,
Forrester Research, Inc. and others.
Of course, the ability to serve more
members and meet more needs rests
on a foundation of financial strength.
You will see in the pages ahead that
USAA grew stronger in 2010. Thanks
in part to more efficient operations and
prudent financial management, our net
worth — the best measure of our ability
to keep our commitment to our members
today and in the future — increased
$1.7 billion, to a record $18.7 billion.
One valuable asset that doesn’t appear
on our balance sheet is the bond of trust
between USAA and our members.
The core values that guide the military
also inspire USAA to do the right thing
because it’s the right thing to do. As we
move into another year of business and
regulatory challenges, we intend to
continue earning your trust by knowing
you and serving you better through every
stage of life.
Sincerely,
Josue (Joe) Robles Jr.

Christopher Wahl walks the walk while he talks

She took the call from a deployed military officer
who was already fighting one battle overseas.
The member had just found out her home
was hours from entering foreclosure, and she
frantically called USAA for help.
Norma quickly leapt into the fray, using some
quick thinking and more than a little determination to solve the problem and save the
member’s house. The thankful officer was then
able to return her focus to where it belonged:
on her troops in the field.
Norma and USAA had her back, even from

USAA 2010 REPORT TO MEMBERS
Only days after joining USAA as an investment
services representative, Chris started getting the
idea in his head that a second career might be
perfect for him. Inspired by the active-duty and
veteran military members he spoke with every
day, Chris decided to enlist in the Army Reserves
and apply to Officer Candidate School.
He will start basic training in May and attend
OCS in August. But his job will be waiting for
him at USAA when his service is complete, and
then he’ll number among the 20 percent of
USAA employees who are actively serving, have
served or are military spouses.
OUR MEMBERSHIP
Nearly 89 years ago, a group of 25 Army officers formed USAA when they
banded together to insure each other’s automobiles. Today, USAA is open to
all those who have served their country honorably. In turn, we are proud to
serve more than 8 million active-duty service members and veterans of all
ranks and grades, as well as their families.

OUR FINANCIAL STRENGTH
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of USAA is responsible for the
integrity and objectivity of the financial information
presented in this annual report. Due to the volume
of financial information contained in the audited
consolidated financial statements, which includes
the financial statements as well as the accompanying
footnotes, we have chosen not to include the full
audited consolidated financial statements in this
Report to Members.
The financial statements that appear in this document
have been selected from the audited consolidated
financial statements to give basic and necessary
financial information about USAA. Certain prior year
amounts were reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation. The selected financial information
was prepared by USAA in accordance with Accounting
Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP), except for the key statutory data,
which was prepared in accordance with Statutory
Accounting Principles (SAP). Management believes
the financial information contained in the audited
consolidated financial statements fairly presents
USAA’s financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. A copy of the complete audited
consolidated financial statements of USAA, including
Ernst & Young LLP’s unqualified independent
auditors’ report thereon, is available upon request
to USAA headquarters in San Antonio, Texas.
USAA’s internal controls are designed to reasonably
ensure that USAA’s assets are safeguarded from
unauthorized use or disposition and that USAA’s
transactions are authorized, executed and recorded
properly. In addition, USAA has a professional staff of
internal auditors who monitor these controls on an
independent basis. The Finance and Audit Committee
of USAA’s Board of Directors engaged Ernst & Young
LLP as independent auditors to audit USAA’s financial
statements and express an opinion thereon. Ernst &
Young LLP’s audit included consideration of USAA’s
internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that support their financial
statement audit opinion, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of USAA’s
internal controls over financial reporting.
USAA HIGHLIGHTS
The Finance and Audit Committee of USAA’s Board
of Directors consists of five members, who are not
officers or employees of USAA. This committee meets
periodically with management, internal auditors and
Ernst & Young LLP to ensure that management
fulfills its responsibility for accounting controls and
preparation of the consolidated financial statements
and related data.
