French term or phrase: les Clients Caisses/Hors Caisses

ZZZ souhaite uniformiser et optimiser son parc d'imprimantes et PMF autant pour les Clients Caisses que pour les Clients Hors Caisses.

I've never heard this before and I am understanding it as Branch Clients and Non-Branch Clients. Or is it Fund Clients and Non Fund clients? I dont know much about the company aside from they are in insurance/funds, and the document is an IT/computer agreement.

English translation:member/non-member customers

Explanation:
This is more an educated guess than anything else. A "caisse populaire" is a type of credit union that is very common in Quebec, and is owned by its members. As such, assuming that is what "caisse" is referring to here, I think the member/non-member distinction could be valid. (Perhaps the caisse in question offers a limited range of services to non-members vs. a wider range – including loans – to members.)

Well, if it's Caisse and non-Caisse clients, that's what I'd put (if it's the Caisses populaires, that is.)

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you Rob, this makes sense given the context of the document (which doesn't outline the role of the Caisse, but what you explained above fits here). I've sent a note to the client asking how they want this term translated -- I note on their website they leave "Caisse" as is (in the English version), but the document I'm working on is going to outside English speaking recipients. I'm going to go with this one unless they say otherwise. Thanks so much, very helpful! :-)
