One Air Force Officer’s Quest for the Best Online Bank in Iraq
August 1, 2007 at 2:36 pm by Ehab BandarIs it really possible to do all your banking while stationed in Iraq, with the service we’ve come to expect from the bank down the street? In Finding a Good Bank, one officer says yes, and is tapping technology and full service banking (thanks to USAA) to manage his finances. The USAA bank posts the following features:
- No ATM fees
- Check deposits from home
- Higher than average interest rates on saving accounts
- Financial planning
- Online banking, and
- Excellent customer service
Here’s the kicker… “USAA does not charge a fee for the first 10 ATM withdrawals and refunds up to $15 in other banks’ ATM fees each month.”
