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 of certain merchant contracts. The redeemable noncontrolling interest was adjusted in the second quarter of 2024 to reflect the estimated redemption value, with a corresponding adjustment recorded to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, as the redeemable noncontrolling interest became mandatorily redeemable, the Company’s obligation to satisfy the purchase of the interest was classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The distribution of certain merchant contracts for the redemption of the minority partner’s membership interest was settled in the third quarter of 2025, resulting in a gain of $89 million within net gain on sales and distribution of other assets in the consolidated statements of income. There was no associated tax impact on this gain. 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.
