The bank reserves the right to confirm any invoices that may nevertheless be received


Explanation:
Allenfalls is a synonym of gegebenenfalls, which may be translated as (if) any. I consider the "that may be" to cover the "if" part of "if any". From the limited context. The Bank is the subject here, particularly if you are using Bank as the subject of other sentences in the text. I used "right to confirm" since that is the verb used in the previous sentence. Maybe another verb is more appropriate.
I give a low confidence rating as this is really a stab in the dark.
