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 (softfail): mail from a server that is not on the list is treated as suspect.

DMARC, info: Reports go to dmarc_agg@vali.email.
DKIM, pass: DKIM key found at google._domainkey.lead.bank, about 2048-bit RSA.
DKIM, pass: DKIM key found at selector2._domainkey.lead.bank, about 1024-bit RSA.
DKIM, pass: DKIM key found at k1._domainkey.lead.bank, about 1024-bit RSA.

What this means if you sell to Lead Bank

Lead Bank 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.
