So I have a USAA account but I have never used them outside the states. My regional bank has sucked outside it's timezone (call center only available bankers hours PST). How have experiences been with USAA outside the states?
Used them for years living in Europe. By far the lowest card transaction charges and good exchange rates for dollars to euros, pounds, etc. They even insured a car for about 1/4 the local rates.
