USAA only allows you to open banking accounts if you're already a USAA member. For a limited time, you can become a member (despite not being part of the military) by opening up a brokerage account. This will also give you 50 free trades (I forget when they expire; I opened my accounts years ago). The public opening apparently lasts until June 30.
