Spanish term or phrase: Banking stuff!

I'm confused (nothing new there!) I'm translating a guide to how to use Internet Banking. At first I thought it was dealing with a private bank account since terms like, una remesa permanente activa, and domiciliacion permanente, are used, which I took to mean standing order and direct debits. But then it goes on to talk about 'librados' and charging them etc, which sounds more like a company, since I believe librados refers to drawees, which we normal private bank account folk don't have to deal with.

I've spoken to the agency but have received no answer yet. In the meantime, does anyone know if these terms are reconciable? and in which case, what kind of banking to they both belong to?
Sorry to be so longwinded, but this project has a quick turnaround time and it's driving me crazy!!

Explanation:
librados are customers / clients of a business or company that charges a fee / amount periodically. This can be done very quickly by Internet banking, (I have two private schools and do this monthly) and it only requires setting up a database program usually provided by the bank and then sending the data at the time you wish to enact the transactions. Does that clear anything up? Hope so.

librados

Explanation:
If the text comes from Argentina; and I think it does; librados attached to a place or a dAte should mean that they were checks or other kind of payments were finally signed.
best luck.

Explanation:
librado = drawee
librador = drawer

in finance, the drawer draws a bill of exchange on the drawee , ie in internet banking someone (the drawer) presents a bill to the internet bank drawn on the account of the drawee, who is the payor of the bill with the drawer becoming the payee.

el banco librado = the issuing bank

un cheque librado contra el banco "A" = a check drawn against the bank "A"

IN this context only:

librar = to draw or to issue
