Should I include positions which I have not started on my resume for recruiting?

Hello, 

I'm looking to apply for full-time positions to some banks and was wondering if I should include on my resume that I will be interning at a top bank in the winter/spring.

Will this look bad or will word get out to my bank that I was recruiting behind their back or would this be helpful? I was thinking of adding this experience since the upcoming spring internship at  would be the most relevant experience on my resume? 

Thought? 

Thanks

Yes include it

For the sake of recruiting, it's extremely common and I encourage it when I give advice to peers
