BCE?

[Imhotrodcrazy]

This is more of a curiosity question on my BCE card.   On my online account it shows my card as a  BCE (sm).  What does the "(sm) stand for?

service mark

It's like a tradmark except it's used for a service not a product. Don't ask me why a BCE is a service, not a product, but that's what it is.

Thanks Gunnar and Nyancat.  Now I can sleep tonight without this question on my mind.

LOL! Glad to help. I've laid awake at 2:00 a.m. thinking about even less important questions sometimes.

Credit cards are recognized as services for trademark standards becuase they help you buy products, you get customer service, extended warranties etc. In other words a service

If I saw that on any of my cards I'd just assume it meant "small" limit.
