From what I've been told by a BB associate (this was advice given to me someone seeking an internship) is that you may not want to rub it in their faces, but you should her words absolutely mention that you've been talking to other banks.

You probably shouldn't mention it in the introduction, but if they ask a related question you should acknowledge it.

 

The way i would approach this, would be to first go in and interview, nail it, and once they ask you to come in for a second round then reach out to your contacts.

its very hard to leverage an interview... focus on what YOU did that got you this interview (whether you used a particular CV version, etc..) and see if you can't get some more interviews that way

 

interviewing with the BB is a funny experience. they tend to all want the same thing, and being viewed as a "hot commodity" will help you.

i mean, they are all hoping that you will say something like "i really want to work at your bank because of XYZ reason". but they will also get super wet when you tell them "i'm talking to citi, goldman, morgan, etc etc" because it makes you look like a real go-getter and it makes you appear very desirable.
