It appears that a branch visit is required to open an account. As you might expect by the name, the bank is targeted to military communities, and many of its branches are on military bases. However, the bank also serves civilian communities, and it has many branches outside of bases (many are in Walmart). The states which have several branches outside of military bases include Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Carolina. The other states in which the branches are mostly inside military bases include California, Texas, South Carolina and Delaware.
