Can I leverage a verbal offer?

Just received an IB verbal offer from a BB and I wanted to leverage to accelerate my process at a different bank. After I received the offer call, I understood the gist that no offer will be ‘finalized’ by HR until I say I will take it.

How could I utilize it in this case? Can I just say I have an offer at another bank?
