Current US trademark holder is a financial group: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4807:gm...

Edit: it appears the USPTO has sent a notice refusing activation on the above due to requirements not met if I read this correctly: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=88758894&caseType=SERIAL_...
