Actually, it's the user's decision: It's a preference item, under "Online Banking".

As for USAA setup, I've been using 24591 for both the Bank Code and Bank Name for my CC account and 314074269 for both for checking accounts. Be sure that the CC account type is "Credit Card Account" and "Checking Account" for a checking account.

I've also found it helpful to set emulation to QWIN/2000/102

One more thing: When you authenticate, use the 4-digit pin that the website makes you enter when you want to do something after you've logged in, not your website password.
