Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]  
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The minority partner in one of the Company’s merchant alliance joint ventures maintained a redeemable noncontrolling 1% interest which was presented outside of equity and carried at its estimated redemption value. The minority partner was entitled
to a contractually determined share of the entity’s income, and the joint venture agreement contained redemption features whereby the interest held by the minority partner was redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that was not solely within the Company’s control.
Effective June 2024, the Company and the merchant alliance joint venture minority partner mutually agreed to terminate the joint venture agreement on September 1, 2024. Under the provisions of the separation agreement, the Company redeemed the minority partner’s membership interest in exchange for a future distribution in 2025 of certain merchant contracts. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was adjusted to reflect the estimated redemption value, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, as the redeemable noncontrolling interest is now mandatorily redeemable, the Company’s obligation to satisfy the purchase of the interest has been reclassified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet (see Notes 8 and 9). The Company maintains an ongoing relationship with the former minority partner to provide processing and other support services following the termination of the joint venture agreement.
The following table presents a summary of the redeemable noncontrolling interest activity, prior to the September 2024 termination of the merchant alliance joint venture, during the three months ended March 31, 2024:
