Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company and based on consultations with internal and external counsel, the results of any of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. As more information becomes available, and the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable on a claim and that the amount of probable loss that the Company will incur on that claim is reasonably estimable, the Company will record an accrued expense for the claim in question. If and when the Company records such an accrual, it could be material and could adversely impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company is involved in a case that was filed on October 11, 2023 and is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Complaint”). The Complaint is a putative class action against The Credit Wholesale Company, Inc. (“Wholesale”), Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., Priority Payment Systems (“PPS”), LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). The Complaint alleges that Wholesale is an agent of Priority, PPS and Wells Fargo
and that it made non-consensual recordation of telephonic communications with California businesses in violation of California Invasion of Privacy Act (the “Act”). The Complaint seeks to certify a class of affected businesses and an award of $5,000 per violation of the Act. As of May 9, 2024, the financial impact, if any, of the outcome of this legal proceeding is neither probable nor estimable.
Concentration of Risks
The Company's revenue is substantially derived from processing Visa and Mastercard bankcard transactions. Because the Company is not a member bank, in order to process these bankcard transactions, the Company maintains sponsorship agreements with member banks which require, among other things, that the Company abide by the by-laws and regulations of the card associations.
As of March 31, 2024 , the Company's customer account balances of $703 million are maintained in FDIC insured eligible accounts with certain FIs (refer to Note 4. Settlement Assets and Customer/Subscriber Account Balances and Related Obligations) A majority of the Company's cash and restricted cash is held in certain FIs, substantially all of which is in excess of FDIC limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk from these transactions.
