Investments Debt And Equity Securities [Abstract] |
Customer Funds | 5. Customer Funds In certain jurisdictions, we collect funds for payment of payroll and taxes; temporarily hold such funds until payment is due; remit the funds to the clients’ employees and appropriate taxing authorities; file federal, state, and local tax returns; and handle related regulatory correspondence and amendments. The assets held are intended for the specific purpose of satisfying client fund obligations and therefore are not freely available for our general business use. In the U.S. and Canada, these customer funds are held in a trust. Investment income from invested customer funds, also referred to as float revenue or float, is a component of our compensation for providing services under agreements with our customers. Investment income from invested customer funds included in recurring revenue was $10.7 million and $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Investment income includes interest income, realized gains and losses from sales of customer funds’ investments, and unrealized credit losses determined to be unrecoverable. The amortized cost of customer funds as of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, is the original cost of assets acquired. The amortized cost and fair values of investments of customer funds available for sale were as follows:

Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss was unrecoverable as of March 31, 2021. The unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit deterioration. We currently do not intend to sell or expect to be required to sell the securities before the time required to recover the amortized cost. The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2021, by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
