What this means for the bank

The checker's own notes on each record:

MX, pass: 5 MX records. Replies have somewhere to land. Mail is handled by Google Workspace.
SPF, pass: One SPF record, ending in -all (fail): mail from a server that is not on the list should be rejected.
SPF, info: DNS lookups: at least 5 of the 10 allowed. This count is an estimate.
SPF, info: The record uses SPF macros, which only resolve for a real message, so the lookup count is a floor.
DMARC, pass: Policy p=reject: receivers are asked to refuse mail that fails.
DMARC, info: Reports go to pbplqehn@ag.us.dmarcian.com.
DKIM, info: No DKIM key at the 10 common selectors tried. That does not mean DKIM is missing. Your email provider picks the selector name, and DNS has no way to list them.

What this means if you sell to Column

Column receives mail through Google Workspace. Gmail requires SPF or DKIM from every sender and DMARC from bulk senders, and filters on reputation. A clean, warmed sending domain is the minimum. 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.
