I also knew about the USAA option. Only that has no brick and mortar location which I've heard can sometimes make things a challenge.There are NFCUs outside many Army bases, they are the closest thing to "all service" credit union that you can find. USAA is another option with wide spread locations. link below has Army base NFCU service locator

Like many military members, I have USAA. Never needed a bricks and mortar location. ATM fees are covered at any ATM up to $X amount/month, which I have never exceeded. I do everything via app, website, phone call. I’ve called them from auto dealerships to tell them I’ve sold a car and to get coverage that day on a new one that I am driving XC on PCS to another state, and all I have is a zip code where I will be living. Never a problem.
There is a USAA brick and mortar just outside the Thayer gate at West Point if that makes any difference.
Indeed, they have a Survivor Relations Team that takes care of every detail; the family doesn’t have to call around to different parts of USAA and retell a painful story. It’s an experienced, cross-trained bunch of representatives who are carefully chosen.
Between that and being able to have insurance on a US rental when we do not live in the US or have a car in the US—and that I have been banking with them for more than 30 years—and have never been into a ‘branch’ or any sort of office. (My home loan is through Navy Fed but the whole process I kept thinking, ‘USAA would have ore populated these forms.’ )
This! I've been a USAA member for 48 years and have never set foot in a USAA location. I started with just insurance but started banking with them in the 80's and today, all of my kids are members as well and all use USAA banking as well.
