Actes are formal documents of legal force - could qualify with "of a legal nature" or "of a contractual nature" (in this context).

"Tous les actes ... engagent et représentent valablement la Banque".

An "acte" is generally meant to be a "deed". Deeds contain promises called covenants and are legally binding without any requirement as to consideration. In the case of comapnies, deeds are documents bearing the signature of one director plus the company seceretary or two directors. Your extract indicates who can bind the bank.

Any deed bearing the bank's name plus the appropriate signature is apparently sufficient to bind the bank.

""Any deed bearing ...is legally binding upon the Bank and can represent the Bank validly". (I don't go a bundle on "validly" here myself!)

As for the translation of "valablement", meaning "validly, legitimately" etc., you might even go for a strict reading and opt for "legally" there too to give :

"Any deed bearing ... legally binds and represents the Bank."

In context, representation and binding amount to the same thing. In representign the Bank in this way, they bind the Bank.

actes -in general are beneath deeds also any actions taken( by the management with powers of signature);engagent et représentent valablement la Banque -have as consequence the application of the legal responsibility and representation of the Bank.
