What this means for the bank

The checker's own notes on each record:

MX, fail: No MX records, so minnwestbank.com cannot receive mail. Every reply to a cold email sent from it bounces.
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 2 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 dmarc_rua@emaildefense.proofpoint.com.
DKIM, pass: DKIM key found at s1._domainkey.minnwestbank.com, about 2048-bit RSA.
DKIM, pass: DKIM key found at s2._domainkey.minnwestbank.com, about 1024-bit RSA.

What this means if you sell to Minnwest Bank

minnwestbank.com publishes no MX records, so it does not receive mail. Minnwest 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.
