What this means for the bank

The checker's own notes on each record:

MX, pass: 2 MX records. Replies have somewhere to land.
SPF, pass: One SPF record, ending in -all (fail): mail from a server that is not on the list should be rejected.
SPF, warn: encryptdel202.appriver.com is included but publishes no single SPF record. Receivers treat that as an error, and SPF fails for any message that gets that far.
SPF, warn: DNS lookups: about 19, over the limit of 10 in RFC 7208. Receivers that count the same way return an error, and SPF fails for any message not matched before the limit. This count is an estimate.
DMARC, warn: Policy p=none with no rua= address. The record asks receivers to do nothing and sends you no reports.
DKIM, pass: DKIM key found at selector1._domainkey.bsbks.com, about 1024-bit RSA.

What this means if you sell to The Bennington State Bank

The Bennington State Bank's MX hosts belong to a provider we do not name from host names alone. Assume the inbound server checks SPF, DKIM and DMARC and scores reputation, as every major provider does. 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.
