I think in this sense, it is.  I mean, you could choose to put a  
photo of your pet parrot on the card, but that would hardly be  
commercial use of your parrot, right?

The bank isn't using the logo for their own commercial purposes any  
more than they would a picture of your pet dog, and neither is the  
card holder.  Rather, the card holder is using the logo in a highly  
visible way to promote NetBSD.
