French term or phrase: cautions d'ordre de la clientèle

I'm having a hard time understanding the meaning of this phrase (vacation hangover?). It's a line item under "Consolidated Accounts." It reads simply "Cautions d'ordre de la clientèle."

customers' security clearing

Explanation:
cautions stands for (providing) securities
Eurodicautom gives "compte d'ordre" for clearing account from which I derive the meaning of "d'ordre" in this context. Hope this helps a little.
