Can I accelerate other processes with a verbal offer?

Had a SA’24 SD for a top bank last week, had one for another firm today and got the verbal offer an hour ago. The latter firm didn’t mention a deadline but would it be worth using this verbal offer to accelerate at the former firm? Or should I wait until I have a written offer and official deadline before communicating this?

Unless you’re A target and diversity doesn’t usually end up happening. It’s also pretty late for most processes so if you were gonna get interviewed there you probably should’ve heard back already
