Spanish term or phrase: escrituras de préstamo, de afianzamiento de las mismas y de descuento
Here's the paragraph for a little more context;

"Solicitar y firmar operaciones crediticias, polizas y escrituras de prestamo, de afianzamiento de las mismas y de descuento, en las condiciones que estime pertinentes."

This is point 6 of the duties of the managing director of the company. The bit I'm not sure about is the 'escritura de afianzamiento de las mismas'and what exactly 'las mismas refers to. I'm also not sure how to translate escritura de descuento (i.e. if it has a special name).

Explanation:
"Apply for and sign credit facilities, official loan forms and deeds, security instruments for the same and discount operations, on the terms and conditions he/she deems fit"

I am translating the entire sentence. More than duties, this sounds like the powers of the officer in question. I believe the "afianzamiento de" and "descuento de" actually refer to the "operaciones crediticias", although the order is somewhat illogical in the Spanish then. As far as I know it does not make sense to speak of guaranteeing or discounting "pólizas" or "escrituras". "Pólizas", is used often in Spain, for an official contract form and is fairly synonymous with deed. Good luck.
