To calculate CAP for the PEO, the following amounts were deducted from or added to Summary Compensation Table (SCT) total compensation:
Year |  | SCT Total |  | SCT Equity Award Value Deducted (a) |  | Equity Award Value Added (b)(c)(d) |  | CAP (b)
2022 |  | $22,270,578 |  | - $17,753,231 |  | + $9,703,096 |  | $14,220,443

To calculate CAP for the non-PEO’s, the following amounts were deducted from or added to average SCT compensation:
Year |  | Average SCT |  | Average SCT Equity Award Value Deducted (a) |  | Average Equity Award Value Added (b)(c)(d) |  | Average CAP (b)

| (a) | Represents the grant date fair value of equity-based awards granted each year. There are no pension benefits for the PEO or non-PEO NEOs.
| (b) | Calculated in accordance with the methodology specified in the SEC’s pay versus performance rules.
| (c) | The fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black Scholes model, which is consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments in our financial statements. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the stock options did not differ in any material respect from the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the awards as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable years, as follows: expected term of 5 years, an expected volatility ranging 30-45%, a risk-free rate of 0.33-4.00%, and a dividend yield ranging 0.39-0.56%.
| (d) | The fair value of the performance stock units without a market condition was determined based on the probable outcome of the performance condition and the stock price on the applicable valuation dates. The fair value of performance stock units with a market condition was determined using the Monte Carlo model, and is based on (i) actual achievement for performance periods completed; (ii) probable outcome as of the applicable valuation date for performance periods not completed (assumed at 100% target performance), and (iii) no modification of the payout based on the TSR modifier for the applicable 3-year period. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the performance stock units without a market condition and the performance stock units with a market condition did not differ in any material respect from the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the awards as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. The fair value calculation used herein is consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments in our financial statements.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] |

Although our Company’s share price performance was negatively impacted in the last two years by an overall dislocation in the stock market for the financial technology sector, we have demonstrated sustained market outperformance over the past 10 years and long-term investors have experienced significant shareholder value growth. A $ 100 investment in our Company on October 1, 2013 (when our current Chief Executive Officer was appointed), would be worth $ 455 on 01/31/2023. * The line graph assumes the investment of $100 in our common stock and the peer group on December 31, 2019 and assumes reinvestment of all dividends. |  |
