From the article it seems whatever services they are integrating bitcoin with is via coinbase. Meh.

This is very interesting doesn't seem like a massive bank that will leave an impact on the bitcoin community. But it's a start for many more.

This is fine I guess. It's only useful to people who would trust online wallets. Does these mean both of these companies now have access to your private keys or only coinbase?

Following a four month pilot program, USAA members can now view the balance of their Coinbase account, alongside the rest of their USAA accounts and financial services.
The financial services group made a major investment in Coinbase, during the US$75 million Series C fundraising round in January 2015, alongside The New York Stock Exchange and BBVA Ventures.
In order for USAA customers to add their Coinbase account, they only need to go to their accounts summary page, add the account, and sign into Coinbase. From there onwards, Coinbase wallet and vault balances will show up inside of their USAA online and mobile accounts, underneath the “My Accounts Summary” page.
