Segment Reporting [Abstract]    
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
We report the results of our Issuer Solutions business as discontinued operations and therefore, no longer present Issuer Solutions as a reportable segment. Segment information presented below is based on our Merchant Solutions reportable segment. See "Note 2—Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations" for further discussion regarding the divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business.

Our segment structure reflects the financial information and reports used by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the business, including resource allocations and performance assessments. Our Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on the operating income of each operating segment. The CODM uses segment operating income in the annual budget and forecasting process, and considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. The operating income of our operating segment includes the revenues of the segment less expenses that are directly related to those revenues. Operating overhead, shared costs and share-based compensation costs are included in Corporate. Impairment of goodwill and gains or losses on business dispositions are not included in determining segment operating income. Interest and other income, interest and other expense, income tax expense and equity in income of equity method investments are not allocated to the individual segments. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of or allocate resources to our operating segment using asset data. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segment are the same as those described in Exhibit 99.1 and our summary of significant accounting policies in "Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Information on our Merchant Solutions segment, including significant segment expenses, and reconciliations to consolidated revenues, consolidated operating income and consolidated depreciation and amortization were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Information About Profit and Assets

We report the results of our Issuer Solutions business as a discontinued operation and therefore, no longer present Issuer Solutions as a reportable segment. Segment information presented below is based on our Merchant Solutions reportable segment. See "Note 3—Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations" for further discussion regarding the divestiture of our Issuer Solutions business. As described in "Note 3—Business Dispositions and Discontinued Operations," during the second quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of the consumer portion of our Netspend business, which comprised our former Consumer Solutions segment. Our former Consumer Solutions segment is presented below for periods prior to disposition.
Our Merchant Solutions payment technology is similar around the world in that we enable our customers to accept card and other digital-based payments. Through this segment, our offerings include, but are not limited to, authorization, settlement and funding services, customer support, chargeback resolution, terminal rental, sales and deployment, payment security services, consolidated billing and on-line reporting. In addition, we offer a wide array of enterprise software solutions that streamline business operations to customers in numerous vertical markets. We also provide a variety of value-added solutions and services, including specialty point-of-sale software, analytics and customer engagement, human capital management and payroll and reporting that assist our customers with driving demand and operating their businesses more efficiently.

Through our former Consumer Solutions segment, we provided general purpose reloadable prepaid debit and payroll cards, demand deposit accounts and other financial service solutions to the underbanked and other consumers and businesses in the United States.
