What this means for the bank

The checker's own notes on each record:

MX, fail: No MX records, so firstamericanbanknm.com cannot receive mail. Every reply to a cold email sent from it bounces.
SPF, fail: The record has a term receivers will not understand: ?all". A syntax error makes SPF fail for every message.
SPF, warn: The record has no all at the end, so a server that is not on the list gets a neutral result, the same as ?all.
SPF, info: DNS lookups: at least 3 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, fail: No DMARC record at _dmarc.firstamericanbanknm.com. Receivers get no instruction for mail that fails SPF and DKIM, and you get no reports.
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 First American Bank

firstamericanbanknm.com publishes no MX records, so it does not receive mail. First American Bank's staff mail must run on another domain, which this check did not read. 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.
