What this means if you sell to Amalgamated Bank of Chicago

Amalgamated Bank of Chicago receives mail through Microsoft 365, whose Exchange Online Protection checks every inbound message's SPF, DKIM and DMARC and scores the sender's reputation. A clean, warmed sending domain is the minimum; a failed check lands in junk or is dropped. Before you send, run your own domain through the email setup checker and publish a policy with the DMARC record generator. For how a bank buys, see the selling to banks playbook.
