German term or phrase: ZV/st:
This is next to an address and date on a Dossier ohne Buchung. I think the ZV just means Ref. and the st: might be the French version but I would like to know what the German word for ZV is.

Explanation:
.... who typed the form. It is usual in Switzerland to indicate the initials in caps of the person who e.g. dictated a letter or who is responsible for a matter and just as usual to put the initials of the employee who actually did the writing/typing. - And it is also common to put these initials next to the date.

Zahlungsauftrag is payment order

Your document is a Dauerauftrag, a standing order, on which no entries have yet been made, which might well indicate that it is a new standing order. I find it highly unlikely that the standard abbreviation to be found on a Dauerauftrag, ZV (Zahlungsverkehr) would also happen to coincide with the initials of a bank employee.

disagree  swisstell: totally off the mark, as Zahlungsverkehr would imply a "Buchung" whereas clearly this is a "Dossier ohne Buchung"
12 hrs
  -> Yes, it's still ohne Buchung, but since it's a standing order, it is likely that payment transactions are yet to be recorded.
neutral  writeaway: not at all off the mark or impossible, since it's not a letter. but without seeing it impossible to say for sure, including answer chosen, which sounds very strange given the document involved.
