Brand analysis

USAA Bank has tumbled off the top spot this wave, despite adding +1 to its Overall Effort Score.

The brand now sits in joint third alongside Citi and PNC Bank in the Financial Services in the US table.

There’s only been one change in the component pillars too. Valuing the Customer has added +1 while the other three pillars remain flat wave on wave.

USAA Banks’ high Customer Effort score is reflected by ACSI research, where last year it led all banks for website satisfaction and mobile reliability.

The business has, of course, rolled out AI but it’s bringing staff along the journey with a course called AI Aware, available to all 38,000 of its employees. Its GenAI tools have so far been internal facing, designed to help its staff cater for customers better. Its a strategy that is working – where can the business go next?
