Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	Equity Method Investments On January 2, 2020, we effectuated our agreement with Walmart to jointly establish a new fintech accelerator under the name TailFin Labs, LLC (“TailFin Labs”), with a mission to develop innovative products, services and technologies that sit at the intersection of retail shopping and consumer financial services. The entity is majority-owned by Walmart and focuses on developing tech-enabled solutions to integrate omni-channel retail shopping and financial services. We hold a 20% ownership interest in the entity, in exchange for annual capital contributions of $35.0 million per year from January 2020 through January 2024. Our final payment under this commitment was made in January 2024. We account for our investment in TailFin Labs under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recorded at cost and the investment is subsequently adjusted for, among other things, its proportionate share of earnings or losses. However, given the capital structure of the TailFin Labs arrangement, we apply the Hypothetical Liquidation Book Value ("HLBV") method to determine the allocation of profits and losses since our liquidation rights and priorities, as defined by the agreement, differ from our underlying ownership interest. The HLBV method calculates the proceeds that would be attributable to each partner in an investment based on the liquidation provisions of the agreement if the partnership was to be liquidated at book value as of the balance sheet date. Each partner’s allocation of income or loss in the period is equal to the change in the amount of net equity they are legally able to claim based on a hypothetical liquidation of the entity at the end of a reporting period compared to the beginning of that period, adjusted for any capital transactions. Note 7—Equity Method Investments (continued) Any future economic benefits derived from products or services developed by TailFin Labs will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the parties. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our net investment in TailFin Labs amounted to approximately $141.3 million and $109.5 million, respectively, and is included in the long-term portion of prepaid expenses and other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We recorded equity in losses from TailFin Labs of $3.1 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are recorded as a component of other income and expense on our consolidated statements of operations. Our equity method investments also include an investment held by our bank, which amounted to $3.3 million and $3.5 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Equity in earnings from this investment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were not significant.
