Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Dispositions | Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Purchase price was allocated to the respective identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisitions. The results of operations for the following acquired and divested businesses are included in the consolidated results of the Company from the respective dates of acquisition and through the respective dates of disposition. Pro forma information for these acquired businesses is not provided because they did not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Acquisitions Acquisition of Merchant One On December 20, 2022, the Company acquired Merchant One, Inc. (“Merchant One”), an independent sales organization focused on acquiring merchants in the restaurant, retail and e-commerce industries using an innovative mix of direct and digital marketing strategies, for $302 million, net of $1 million of acquired cash. Merchant One is included within the Acceptance segment and enhances the Company’s merchant distribution and sales force channels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company identified and recorded measurement period adjustments to the preliminary Merchant One purchase price allocation, including refinements to valuations of acquired intangible assets, which were the result of additional analysis performed and information identified based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. These measurement period adjustments resulted in an increase to goodwill of $61 million and a corresponding decrease in identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships. Such measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The allocation of the purchase price was finalized in the second quarter of 2023 and resulted in the recognition of identifiable intangible assets of $118 million, goodwill of $179 million and other net assets of $6 million. Goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributed to the anticipated value created by expanding the reach of the Clover® cloud-based POS and business management platform, and select value-added services that enable the Company to deliver new and innovative capabilities to Merchant One’s clients. The amounts allocated to identifiable intangible assets are as follows:
(In millions) | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Weighted-Average Useful Life
Residual buyouts | $ | 83 |  |  | 9 years
Customer relationships | 35 |  |  | 10 years
Total | $ | 118 |  |  | 9 years
Acquisition of Finxact On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired a remaining ownership interest in Finxact, Inc. (“Finxact”), a developer of cloud-native banking solutions powering digital transformation throughout the financial services sector, for $645 million, net of $27 million of acquired cash. The Company previously held a noncontrolling equity interest in Finxact, which was accounted for under the equity method. The remeasurement of the Company’s previously held equity interest to its acquisition-date fair value resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $110 million, included within income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statement of income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Finxact is included within the Fintech segment and advances the Company’s digital banking strategy, expanding its account processing, digital, and payments solutions. The allocation of purchase price recorded for Finxact was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2022 as follows:
(In millions) |
Cash | $ | 27 |
Other net assets | 1 |
Intangible assets | 105 |
Goodwill | 670 |
Total consideration | $ | 803 |
Less: Fair value of previously held equity interest | (131) |
Total purchase price | $ | 672 |
Goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributed to the anticipated value created by the combined scale, core platform modernization, and accelerated delivery of enhanced digital banking solutions offered to financial institutions of all sizes. The amounts allocated to identifiable intangible assets were as follows:
(In millions) | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Weighted-Average Useful Life
Acquired software and technology | $ | 90 |  |  | 6 years
Trade name | 9 |  |  | 5 years
Customer relationships | 6 |  |  | 8 years
Total | $ | 105 |  |  | 6 years

On June 1, 2022, the Company acquired The LR2 Group, LLC (“City POS”), an independent sales organization that promotes payment processing services and facilitates the sale of POS equipment for merchants. City POS is included within the Acceptance segment and expands the Company’s merchant services business. The Company acquired these businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $44 million, including earn-out provisions estimated at a fair value of $6 million (see Note 8). The allocation of purchase price for these acquisitions resulted in the recognition of identifiable intangible assets of $23 million, goodwill of $22 million and other net assumed liabilities of $1 million. The purchase price allocations for the CityPOS and NexTable acquisitions were finalized in the third and fourth quarters of 2022, respectively. The purchase price allocation for the Yacaré acquisition was finalized in the second quarter of 2023. Measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Goodwill for these acquisitions, of which $17 million is deductible for tax purposes, is primarily attributed to the value created by expanding the reach of the Company’s payment solutions and enhancing omnichannel capabilities.
