Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation Plans | Stock-Based Compensation Plans Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares issued under the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, totaled 114,709 and 92,765, respectively. 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan On June 9, 2020, upon recommendation of the Company’s board of directors (the “board”), stockholders approved the ACI Worldwide, Inc. 2020 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan authorizes the board to provide for equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and certain other awards, including those denominated or payable in, or otherwise based on, the Company’s common stock ("awards"). The purpose of the 2020 Plan is to provide incentives and rewards for service and/or performance by providing awards to non-employee directors, officers, other employees, and certain consultants and other service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries. Following the approval of the 2020 Plan, the 2016 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the “2016 Incentive Plan”) was terminated. Termination of the 2016 Incentive Plan did not affect any equity awards outstanding under the 2016 Incentive Plan. Subject to adjustment and share counting rules as described in the 2020 Plan, a total of 6,658,754 shares of common stock are available for awards granted under the 2020 Plan. Shares underlying certain awards under the 2020 Plan, the Company’s 2005 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the "2005 Incentive Plan"), and the 2016 Incentive Plan (each including as amended or amended and restated) that are cancelled or forfeited, expire, are settled for cash, or are unearned after June 9, 2020, will again be available under the 2020 Plan. The board generally will be able to amend the 2020 Plan, subject to stockholder approval in certain circumstances, as described in the 2020 Plan.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $14.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively. There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019. Long-term Incentive Program Performance Share Awards A summary of nonvested long-term incentive program performance share awards (“LTIP performance shares”) is as follows:
| Number of Shares at Expected Attainment |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested as of December 31, 2019 | 669,469 |  |  | $ | 20.12 |
Vested | (668,240) |  |  | 20.12 |
Forfeited | (5,368) |  |  | 20.12 |
Change in attainment | 4,139 |  |  | 20.12 |
Nonvested as of September 30, 2020 | — |  |  | $ | — |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a total of 668,240 LTIPs vested. The Company withheld 165,237 of those shares to pay the employees’ portion of the minimum payroll withholding taxes. Restricted Share Awards A summary of nonvested restricted share awards (“RSAs”) is as follows:
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested as of December 31, 2019 | 92,842 |  |  | $ | 20.13 |
Vested | (88,913) |  |  | 20.12 |
Forfeited | (3,929) |  |  | 20.35 |
Nonvested as of September 30, 2020 | — |  |  | $ | — |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a total of 88,913 RSAs vested. The Company withheld 28,233 of those shares to pay the employees’ portion of the minimum payroll withholding taxes. Total Shareholder Return Awards During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Plan, the Company granted total shareholder return awards (“TSRs”). TSRs are performance shares that are earned, if at all, based upon the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to a group of peer companies over a three-year performance period. The award payout can range from 0% to 200%. To determine the grant date fair value of the TSRs, a Monte Carlo simulation model is used. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the TSRs over a three-year performance period based on the grant date fair value. A summary of nonvested TSRs is as follows:
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested as of December 31, 2019 | 1,062,291 |  |  | $ | 35.77 |
Granted | 677,195 |  |  | 30.01 |
Vested | (199,413) |  |  | 24.37 |
Forfeited | (84,012) |  |  | 39.01 |
Change in payout rate | (14,259) |  |  | 24.37 |
Nonvested as of September 30, 2020 | 1,441,802 |  |  | $ | 34.56 |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a total of 199,413 TSRs awards granted in fiscal 2017 vested and achieved a payout rate of 93% based on the Company's total shareholder return as compared to a group of peer companies over a three-year performance period. The Company withheld 53,033 of those shares to pay the employees’ portion of the minimum payroll withholding taxes. The fair value of TSRs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, were estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model, acceptable under ASC 718, using the following weighted average assumptions:
| Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019
Expected life (years) | 2.8 |  | 2.8
Risk-free interest rate | 0.5 | % |  | 2.5 | %
Expected volatility | 31.4 | % |  | 29.3 | %
Expected dividend yield | — |  |  | — |
Restricted Share Units During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, pursuant to the 2020 Plan and the 2016 Incentive Plan, respectively, the Company granted restricted share unit awards (“RSUs”). RSUs generally have requisite service periods of three years and vest in increments of 33% on the anniversary of the grant dates. RSUs granted to our board vest one year from grant or as of the next annual shareholders meeting, whichever is earlier. Under each arrangement, RSUs are issued without direct cost to the employee on the vesting date. The Company estimates the fair value of the RSUs based upon the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. A summary of nonvested RSUs is as follows:
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested as of December 31, 2019 | 1,009,404 |  |  | $ | 29.96 |
Granted | 807,807 |  |  | 25.64 |
Vested | (403,865) |  |  | 29.15 |
Forfeited | (121,284) |  |  | 29.50 |
Nonvested as of September 30, 2020 | 1,292,062 |  |  | $ | 27.55 |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a total of 403,865 RSUs vested. The Company withheld 110,689 of those shares to pay the employees’ portion of the minimum payroll withholding taxes. As of September 30, 2020, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $26.1 million related to nonvested RSUs, $23.5 million related to nonvested TSRs, and less than $0.1 million related to nonvested stock options, which the Company expects to recognize over weighted average periods of 1.9 years, 1.7 years, and 0.4 years, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, of $8.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, with corresponding tax benefits of $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, of $22.9 million and $30.3 million, respectively, with the corresponding tax benefits of $4.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
