Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of FIS and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2018 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to the classifications used in 2019. Amounts in tables in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes may not sum due to rounding. On March 17, 2019, FIS, Wrangler Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FIS (“Merger Sub”), and Worldpay, Inc. (“Worldpay”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into Worldpay (the “merger”), with Worldpay surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of FIS (collectively, the “Worldpay acquisition”). On July 31, 2019, FIS completed the acquisition of Worldpay, and Worldpay's results of operations and financial position are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) from and after the date of acquisition. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Worldpay, the Company reorganized its reportable segments and recast all prior-period segment information presented to align with the new reportable segments. The new segments are Merchant Solutions, Banking Solutions, and Capital Market Solutions, which are organized based on the markets and clients served aligned with the solutions they provide, as well as the Corporate and Other segment (see Note 13).
