Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investment in Equity Investee	Investment in Equity Investee Consorcio de Tarjetas Dominicanas, S.A. (“CONTADO”) is one of the largest merchant acquirers and ATM network in the Dominican Republic. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its equity interest in CONTADO. As a result of the acquisition in 2011 of CONTADO’s 19.99% equity interest, the Company calculated an excess cost of the investment in CONTADO over the amount of underlying equity in net assets of approximately $9.0 million, which was mainly attributed to customer relationships, trademark, and goodwill intangibles. The Company’s excess basis allocated to amortizable assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the appropriate intangibles. Amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $0.2 million, and was recorded within earnings of equity method investment in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company recognized $3.0 million, $1.7 million, and $1.1 million as equity in CONTADO’s net income, net of amortization, in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company received $2.1 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, in dividends from CONTADO. No dividends were received in 2020. CONTADO fiscal year ends December 31 and is reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the period subsequent to the acquisition date on a one-month lag. No significant events occurred in CONTADO’s operations subsequent to November 30, 2022 that would have materially affected the Company’s reported results.
