Bank serving as guarantor
A certain bank based outside of Spain has a branch located in Madrid. The branch is to serve as guarantor for a certain corporation in connection with a rental property. The terms of this agreement are spelled out in detail in the document in question, and then at the bottom of the one page the following appears:
[Name of bank]
[Branch in Madrid]
_P.P._
Does the "P.P." stand for "por poder"? What would be the best way to translate this into English? Perhaps "By proxy"?

P.P.
As has been mentioned in the discussion area, this is short for 'Per Procurationem'. In the UK at least, many banks end letters to clients with P.P., so I am confident that you could use the same abbreviation, assuming that a name and signature follow in the original.
I can't find a real letter, but it is used in the same way as the second web reference I've given.
