DoBa?

Does anyone know what DoBa stands for in Spanish? I am translating a list of words so there's not a lot of context, but this abbreviation (?) pops up regularly. I'm stumped.
Thanks!

Spanish term (edited):
DoBa - SPA: Domiciliación Bancaria; ENG: Deed of Bankruptcy Arrangement
Selected
Direct Debit; Standing Order
The asker - out of context - assumes that DoBa is a Spanish abbreviation or acronym, though those of us who have grappled with DoFa's (Deeds of Family Arrangement/ posthuimous Variation of a Wils) cannot rule out an AmE source of a Deed of .....
Example sentence:
La orden de domiciliación bancaria consiste en un modelo o documento con el que autorizas a tu entidad a que proceda de forma automática al pago de tus gastos

: There's no way it's going to be 'deed of bankruptcy arrangement' because (a) it's English and (b) there's no such thing anyway. So why bother mentioning it?

You typically don't mention the first limb = la branche of my answer - that you had never thought of - and DoFa was the first thing that occured to me. Obiter, Deed of Bankruptcy Arrangement is short for Arrangement to avoid bankrupotcy.

no sé si es una abreviatura frecuente, no es fácil cotejar los resultados pero creo que hay bastante probabilidad de que se refieran a domiciliación bancaria

me refiero a los resultados de cruzar "DOBA" con "domiciliación", muy pocos, o casi ninguno, coinciden con las siglas.
