What this means for the bank

The checker's own notes on each record:

MX, pass: 1 MX record. Replies have somewhere to land. Mail is handled by Microsoft 365.
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@encirca.com.
DKIM, pass: DKIM key found at selector1._domainkey.providence.bank, about 2048-bit RSA.

What this means if you sell to Providence Bank & Trust

Providence Bank & Trust 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.
